What Awesome REALLY Means

" AWESOME "
 is an over-used term.  But THIS is
"Awesome"


I trust you will agree!

Ear Worm

A L O H A !

  Swinging Safari by Bert Kaempfert on Grooveshark
You WANT to click on that arrow above.
Or DO you?
There is a sound
in my inner ear.
It's lingered there
since the 1960s.






As a musician,
a player of flutes,
I think it means something
that it echoes
down the hallways
of my brain and
being.

I hunted for the sound
in recent years.
Google searches,
Sixties radio promos.
Nada- Zilch-






Last Christmas
I heard a hint of it
on our local cable TV
system;
But I missed the 
credit!

You already knew that,
didn't you?

But this past year,
from November (!)
I glued myself
to the Holiday Music Channel.

I enjoy holiday music,
but this was MORE!

This was 
D E T E R  M I N A T I O N !










Then, a little bird,
a familiar note
(not 
what I was looking for
 but-)
Whispered a name:

" Bert Kaempfert "

Now my European
friends of a 
certain age :)
are smiling.

A little research
on You Tube
and Grooveshark
and the quarry
of a years-long
hunt
was mine!







That song you 
so cavalierly 
passed over at top,

" Swinging Safari "

is the Great
Motherload

E A R  W O R M !


I'v listened to it over,
and over.
Perhaps you will
also.
But one listen
and it will probably
infect your 
Mind's Ear.

So you've been
warned;
but it's a 
pleasurable infection.

And who knows?
You may begin
to play the flute
for sheer joy - 
bringing countless
hours,
decades of years
of pleasure,
transmitting
Ear Worms
to others!
