“Hot Licks” by: Rob Kistner © 2007
torchin’
in the zone
burnin’ chops
flamin’ righteous
primo riffin’
shreddin’ sacred
glorified ‘n sanctified
fused
bruised
and overused
our axes jumpin’
power pumpin’
entire joint
was thunder thumpin’
licks was rollin’
fingers swollen
we’s all lubed ‘n locked
‘n strike’n light’nin
we was cookin’
skirts was lookin’
smokin’ hot
‘n on the trot
shakin’ bakin’
out for makin’
scene was flippin’
cra’cra’crazy
off the hinge
to the fringe
hot slammin’
jammin’
vibe was goovy
skins was raucous
reeds was rippin’
playa’s trippin’
sanity slippin’
blood ‘n bone on broken tusk
brass ‘n balls to the bell-tone edge
soul elation
elevation
cruzin’ smooooooth
to devastation
upright
‘n bottom tight
we wrecked the house
this velvet night

Thank you Vivian, what’ll you have? 🙂

Wish I had Mr Penofy’s “Waybak Machine” Margaret… 🙂
A fun read, full of musical slang.
Thank you Toni, glad you enjoyed it…:-)
Nothing like the energy from a live show. It’s been too long since I’ve gotten to enjoy one. Thanks for transporting me with this piece.
You re most welcome Rommy… 🙂
Ah I love this! Man oh man. I think I was there that night!
Thank you Marian! I think in fact I saw you… 🙂
Righteous!
Gratitude! 🙂
This poem has its own unique groove. ????
There was supposed to be a smiley face and not a bunch of question marks.
I know, it’s cool! 🙂
Thank you RW! 🙂
Having read before about your background with the band this sounds like one of the perfect nights…
This is a wild, boisterous expression of my joy in having performed music professionally for more than 2 decades Björn — and my great satisfaction in still being able, and still enjoying my ability to sing at a high level.
The tone and rhythm made me dance. I really the movement, the delight in the speaker’s voice…
Thank you Magaly! This is a reflection of my joy making music for over 2 decades. It was indeed groovy! 🙂
Groovy, man!
🙂
Like groovy, man!
Like, thank you Sara! 🙂
