Pocket Pal

Pocket Pal

Picked it up  
When just a kid  
Found I had talent  
Always was hid  

Play it by ear  
No music is read  
Lucky that way  
All in my head  

“Whip it out!!” 
Is what I hear say  
“Whip it out!!  
“Let's hear you play”

Blues is my music  
Makes me happy  
Blues is the music  
My ears plainly see  

Jonathan Edwards  
In his shanty  
Make room for  
Mayall and Magic Dickie  

My Harps always there  
When happy or sad  
I whip it right out  
Even when I am mad  

My Harp is my Friend  
A true pocket Pal  
I love my Harmonica  
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...
