BeBoperalusion Blues Dream for Chas.Parker Centenary (1920)
Bird's centenary,
b.1920 (Kansas City), d.1955 (New York City)
Alto saxophone's great proponent- the standard for the rest
of us who ever tried to play that thing.
Didn't live here long. (Not on earth much longer than my dear daughter, Leah at
her alcoholic death.)
SaXophone-God, narcotics, alcohol, chaotic life, death (at close to) 35 years.
"Bird Lives" scratched on
public toilet walls all over
the world. "Bird Lives!"
No less No more
Lived 'til he died, (laughing), while watching TV at Nica's apartment.
No more No less.
Goodnight, Mr. Parker.
(Goodnight daughter Leah)**
