Poemarium Entering

By John M. Kennedy

As you enter Poemarium:

The world dissolves away.

The notes of music and words of poets:

Become the culture that does stay.

There's no time or space in this realm:

Each moment is infinite and pure.

Every syllable and every sound:

Is felt deeply and held secure.

Here, music becomes poetry,:

And poetry becomes the beat.

All is one, all is connected:

This moment, this instant is complete.

You are surrounded by the power of words:

As they flow through the universe.

The rhythm of life, the melody of love:

All captured in a single verse.

So let yourself be swept away:

In the beauty of this world divine.

For on Poemarium, the planet of the poets:

The magic of music and words combine.

John M. Kennedy, an anthologist, brings in this podcast the first instance of the BFBBe, [The Bravest Freest Bluest Blue Ever], and he chose to start with lighnin' Hopkins. He explains: "The social significance of Blues music it is universal, resides in the revolutionary element of African Americans creating their own aesthetics from which it transcends by becoming the real ethos of American Culture and one of the great achievements in the history of humankind. Blues music is our blood bleeding the suffering and sublimation of the predicaments of this human existence for such is perennial echo and since was conceived doesn't belong only to eternity, it was always there inside somewhere in our DNA waiting to be developed. Blues represents the opposing voice that refused to be silenced by oppression and segregation. The Blues expressed this with unprecedented clarity, honesty and simplicity which all the same time, poetry, pain, beauty and truth because the blues is life. "

"Lightnin' Hopkins will live forever for those who really love the blues!"

Let's watch Hopkins's style as it has been described as a "deep, almost religious resonance" and as a "raw, driving intensity". He was known for his unique finger-picking style and his use of improvisation. His songs often featured a mix of blues, country, and gospel influences. He was a prolific songwriter, often writing about his life experiences, including his hard times and struggles. His lyrics often featured a sense of humor, and he was known for his storytelling style. He was also known for his distinctive singing voice and his unique phrasing. All of which you can distinguish here at PiCast-Poemarium.

This music will transport you places that only your imagination could conceive. John M. Kennedy compiled an anthology of Sarasate's compositions.  Sarasate, virtuoso violinists of the 19th Century  wrote many pieces for violin with piano or orchestra, which were popular with players as well as audiences in his day as they embodied a way of playing that he understood better than anybody else.  Also, Sarasate was one of the few 19th-century virtuosos who lived into the gramophone era, and his 1904 recordings offer tantalizing evidence of his performance prowess.
