Hi Keisha,
I put the whole poem up here:
http://www.livejournal.com/users/togeika/2003/12/28/
Rumi is from Persia (Iran.) I share the poem with a prayer for the
folks dealing with the earthquake in Rumi's homeland.
I heard another awesome thing on NPR today: Matt Haimovitz on the
cello doing Hendrix's version of the "Star Spangled Banner" from
Woodstock! The first time this interview played, I only heard a Bach cello
piece, and I thought it was from my Yo-yo Ma CD.
When Haimovitz speaks about the virtuosity of Hendrix's ability on
the Fender guitar, it is a glimpse into how really great art transcends form
or style. He said that he was not exposed to a broad range of music when
he was growing up. After coming to American and hearing Hendrix play the
Star Spangled Banner , he was struck, not only of the virtuosity of the
playing, but also that this black American was playing this music at a war
protest gathering.
Haimovitz has been playing in Rock & Roll bars and similar venues
lately. He played at the 400 Bar that was close to the artist Co-op I
lived in, in St. Paul. My Akita Taiko used to scare headbangers and
Bikers coming out of the 400 during our evening walks. Taiko likes guys
with ponytails and beards and these guys couldn't figure out why this Akita
wanted to see them up close. They thought she wanted to take their faces
off, not just lick them. :^)
Bach is one of my all-time favorite artists. I prefer chamber
music and smaller, especially quartets and smaller. If I'm ever feeling
"steamrolled" by life, I just put on Yo-yo Ma and I snap out of it.
Now I need the latest Haimovitz CD.

Correction! Jean corrected me when I told her about this post. We
lived near Ryan's bar, not the 400. The 400 is on the West Bank
Minneapolis. Ryan's is much more rowdy. :^) Jean reminded me that one
of our first dates was dancing to Asleep At the Wheel at the 400.
