THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED

 

Sometimes everyone is sleep

dancing.  The music is playing

a fluid melody – then surprise.

Something happens – the lights

go off. The music dies. Planes

crash. Everyone and everything

stops when the music dies.

There is a death in the family.

There is a family fight. News

of cancer hits the room. “Oh no!

Not expected….” and nobody has

a clue just what to do. It’s real

life the day the music dies.
