4/24/20   Festing in Place 
 
 
Doing the jazzfest virtually 
certainly has its advantages..
 
Parking is easy. 
 
When hot, humid, and stormy outside
the weather is always good inside.
 
I don’t have to worry about 
missing one act while 
dancing to another.
 
And should I miss something
or want to hear it twice, 
I have two weeks to catch it again 
on the Oz archive. 
 
I can even take the festival with me 
when walking my dog. 
 
So, if you see me in Audubon park
getting down with my bad self,
as I bust a move to a funky 
second line beat…
 
Please feel free to join my play
 
But always remember to stay 
at least 6 feet away.
