this song brings back so many memories.. i love his music

First spoken verse (part 1): - Umm huh!/

You wouldn’t forget him either if you/

had met him where I met him/

Talkin’ about desolation!/

Lord! Desolation is a railroad station ‘round about 2:00 am on a weeknight/

When you walk into desolation like that/

and suddenly, out of nowhere comes a /

warm song, you aren’t about to forget it./

First spoken verse (part 2) - This is the first time though that I've heard him at an airport.

I know he moves along the piers/

Ahah! he calls himself a "Journey Agent", a "Eulipion" ./

Says his friends the poets, and the artists , and musicians are Eulipions, too/

Hey! Listen!/

Listen to his tune. Call’s it his “Duty Free Gift for the traveller"./

Last verse: at end of song: - - Like I said/

This is the first time though that I’ve seen him at an airport./

I know he moves along the piers/

Calls himself a “Journey Agent”, a “Eulipian”./

Calls his friends, the poets, the artists, the musicians are "Journey Agents". too/

Calls this his "Duty Free Gift for the Traveler"./

If there were so Sun,/ You would have this Song/ To give warmth and light/ And to keep you strong./ It would make Love a Gas/ Spinning ’round and ’round/ And when meteors fall,/ Love would reach the ground.If there was no Moon/ To control the tides,/ There would be these notes/ As the sailors guide./ We would make Song the King./ Have all praises sung/ Call the author of Love/ A Eulipion.// (Betty H. Neals Theme for the Eulipions)

The female voice was Phyllis Hyman, a really talented woman who died tragically some years later.

Merveille que cet improvisation d'une seule main (d'un seul poumon?), bien mieux menée que celles de musiciens en ayant deux, comme le disait lui-même le souffleur! Merci Hank Jones...on peut le dire, tu l'es, la pointe, tu es le top que tu cherchais à atteindre!

[Orchidoclastie]

Beau à pleurer, ce thême composé sur le banc d'un parc publique de New York, alors qu'attendant une amie, le géant pharaonique aux milles sons l'entendit siffler par un oiseau perché sur une branche! Un professeur de saxophone m'a confié l'avoir jouer pour animer des strip-tease...rien d'étonnant, après tout, même Dim se l'accapare...
