[hometext] => Like the Moody Blues searching for that one Lost Chord or Spock's Beard's one timeless note, I think we're all searching for that one thing that'll keep us all together; that can never age by any means and will stay with us forever.
[bodytext] => Hans has seen better days but still plays near Lake Hefner in a way similar to Van Halen: hands joining together for the triplets and heaving heavy blues in fine improvisation. His old Les Paul's been felt up more times than a hooker and was born before old Paul himself could rub many right with the overdub. It's a guitar that's traveled far and wide and has seen better days. Picture the bob cut on all the men during the time of early Genesis when people tried to imitate Peter Gabriel and his flower routine. It was there being held by a Hackett fan in that sitting-down style, being plucked to Firth of Fifth. It didn't stay long since it was too jazzy to be in a Prog band. When Rush came fast into town with YYZ abound, for sure people imitated it; and when it was time for the bass and lead's competition, that old Les Paul couldn't handle the heat. It went straight into submission and hands passed around again since it was too soft to be in an eighties rock band. By the time The Pixies rolled around, no one cared for this Gibson except for the museums and persons wanting the original edition. But, somehow it got used to an attic down in Lexington, where it lied in that dusty land since it was too old to be in a Grunge band. Here we are now at Hefner near the docks and Hans is warming up his hands to Clapton. That Paul sings out Layla in a way that is jazzy and soft and old but timeless to the ears. Though these years have been hard on both, the chords still ring true with a heavy helping of blues painting Oklahoman hues of green and red.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
