FOR THE WEEKEND



3WW..occasion, blink, kind

A sixties occasion
black and white
Blink and spot
a young Serge
grinning through the haze
of Gitane cloud
in a Paris night club
The guitarist
loose lipped
drooped fag
plunking along
to a kind of beat

I wanted to be there

  3. What a great piece of nostalgia. I prefer trad jazz but this will do fine for today.

  4. Ah! This was great - words and music. I used to smoke Gitanes (or Gauloises) and listen to this kind of music when it was new.

  7. Jaerose entranced
    a cool cat in a hat
    perched on big sixties hair
    sitting in the front row
    a long cigarette holder
    protruding from her mouth
    ash dropping
    setting fire
    to the tulle skirt
    of the woman seated next to her :)
