Naomi
The stage is set
As the audience awaits
The dimming of the lights
And the parting of curtain drapes
Slowly the spotlight shines
On the seated silhouette
Her hands placed on the ivories
To start an evening we won't forget
Many tunes are played
As we applaud Naomi's gifted sounds
This theatre, the last on her tour
In her Nottingham surrounds
The audience in wanting cry
Request she plays some more
Crazy Times and Broken Glass
Ends this Butterflies encore
The thunder of the clapping
As red roses grace the stage
At twenty four, there will be so much more
This is the first of many a page

There are so many sounds
That are enjoyed by so many
But the sounds I love most
Are by plectrum or penny
Lindsey Buckingham playing "Go Your Own Way"
Even Joe Perry makes "Walk This Way" say
Eric Clapton and his solo on "Cocaine"
Don Felder with "Hotel California" listening time and time again
Peter Green strumming "Man Of The World"
David Gilmour and Pink Floyd's "Time" the best i have ever heard
Jimi Hendrix with the amazing "Hey Joe"
Alex Lifeson axing "Working Man" in Toronto flow
Pete Townsend from the Who "Won't Get Fooled Again"
Neil Young and his anthem "Like A Hurricane"
George Harrison delights with "Here Comes The Sun"
Kerry Livgren from Kansas state "Carry on Wayward Son"
Tom Scholz of Boston with their "A Man I'll Never Be"
Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin as their "Whole Lotta Love" riffs free
Neal Schon on a Journey "Who's Crying Now"
Nancy Wilson Seattle's Heart "Crazy On You" wows
The sounds you read above, are just my ones of many
Whether they are played by a plectrum, or played by a penny
I did mention above, that I loved Pink Floyd's "Time"
But second to it, is Slash's "Sweet Child of Mine"
Music is my First Love
The concept of a top ten, is a wonderful choice
For Joe Flach's contest, your words become your voice
Typically for me, music comes first
Below are my ten, please read and rejoice
In alphabetical order, these ten you may have heard
If you know the tunes, please sing along to the words
If I ever win the lottery, I shall book the Carnegie Hall
And invite all the Soupers to sing and have a ball
AC/DC, from the album "Let There Be Rock"
"Whole Lotta Rosie" with whom Bon Scott defrocked
