Pocket Pal

Picked it up Â
When just a kid Â
Found I had talent Â
Always was hid Â
Play it by ear Â
No music is read Â
Lucky that way Â
All in my head Â
“Whip it out!!”Â
Is what I hear say Â
“Whip it out!! Â
“Let's hear you play”
Blues is my music Â
Makes me happy Â
Blues is the music Â
My ears plainly see Â
Jonathan Edwards Â
In his shanty Â
Make room for Â
Mayall and Magic Dickie Â
My Harps always there Â
When happy or sad Â
I whip it right out Â
Even when I am mad Â
My Harp is my Friend Â
A true pocket Pal Â
I love my Harmonica Â
Can you all tell

I had an uncle on my father's side of the family who was so good with a mouth/juice harp that he inspired me to take up playing a saxophone so we could jam together.
So, on Saturday nights and sometimes Sundays–both at church and at home–for eleven years until the day he died, we did just that.
I too learned to play by ear and still love playing my alto sax today.
And although my uncle Denver's been dead for over fifteen years now, I sometimes swear I hear the rich, sweet sounds of harmonica music when I play.
Great story-in-a-poem, Bill.
Bravo!

Thank you my friend in words AND music...
i love the Sax, right up there with a number of instruments I should’ve tackled, Van Morrison started out playing Sax and still plays on many of his tunes, Van and I are Soul brothers for sure...
