The Gordons (technically preNun) shredded ears | 9 |
Like the Skeptics at the City Hotel | 10 |

“In poetry, the symbolist procedure - as typified by Verlaine- was to use subtle suggestion instead of precise statement (rhetoric was banned) and to evoke moods and feelings by the magic of words and repeated sounds and the cadence of verse (musicality) and metrical innovation” –Wikipedia | 22 |
Oh and the sexiest of bass players was a bonus. | 23 |

This twenty five year moment | 59 |
Of life lived | 60 |
Under a shower of creation | 61 |
Of trips taken | 62 |
To the beat of aural devotion | 63 |
Of friends made | 64 |
Who shared the best | 65 |
The revolving doorway | 66 |
twixt heart and soul, body and mind. | 67 |
| |
Thanks | 68 |
I’m glad I was here. | 69 |
