And then there’s music
brings me back
when really I’m still there
Brings a tingle
brings a shiver
A joie de vivre to share

The day has arrived
the one after Solstice
so the light will be with us til late
And here in midsummer
down on the beach
the atmosphere will be great
We’ve friends who are coming
from miles away
we have not seen for some time
So you can be sure
that we’ll celebrate
and that everything will be fine
60/40 is here
Party and music
and dancing you can be sure
For this is the moment
for many months
that we have been waiting for

This year, my soulmate Sal and I turned 60 and, in July we’ll see our 40th wedding anniversary. As good an excuse for a party if ever there was one! (Photo – Jempics)

The venue is booked
and the playlist is ready
the invites sent months ago
And now, come the summer
it’s almost the time
for us to get on with the show
60/40 is here
celebratory time
with friends who are dear to our hearts
And come the morrow
we’ll get party togs on
for the evening eight o’clock start

Each month with new music
I’ll chop and I’ll change
and the playlists I use
I will oft re-arrange
So I’m grateful for i-pods
with music in mind
as with buds in my ears
I can always unwind

The quietness of the woodland brook
is always worth a second look
For with its trickle so it sings
and with it a new music brings

Quite often then
my eyes will dance
‘tho my feet
are slower there
For there is music
all around
in life most
everywhere

It lifts and refreshes
It adds spring to steps
It soothes and it mellows
The louder it gets
It hits you sometimes but
Never hurts when it does
It brings smiles and enjoyment
And does this because
It is comfort and solace
It is all that and more
It is rejuvenation
It is music – encore!

If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it; that surfeiting…
