He
waves the bow ever so lightly,
a wand,
wielding the magic of music
as
it arcs into auditorium air,
a
white dove soaring into darkness.
His
soul, alight with the knowledge
of
God transmuted into bars and
notes,
he imagines and then plays
Vivaldi,
Haydn, Bach and Saint Saens,
Dvorak,
Beethoven, Brahms and Debussy,
Chopin,
Rachmaninoff, Beatles and E.L.O.,
Aerosmith,
Cream and Smashing Pumpkins,
classical
jazz rock bluegrass folk it pours from
his
soul, alight with the knowledge
of
God transmuted into bars and
notes.
