On a boat to see a concert
A short ride across the river
Can’t believe it’s really happening
Never heard of this, no never.
As we approach the landing
I can hear the saxophone
The drum in sync maintains the beat
The guitars screech and moan.
Spectators sit in lawn chairs
Their coolers by their side
So wonderful to listen to
Music playing into the night.
Some dancing keeping rhythm
Don’t care who stops and stares
Encouraging others in the crowd
“Come join me, don’t be scared!”
Strangers become comrades
Sharing beer and cups of wine
Never knew so much excitement
So much fun, such a great time.
The band in from Toronto
The singer belts the blues
Reminiscent of Janis Joplin
Aretha and Winehouse, too!
One last song left to perform
Time to go …. pack up our chairs
My ride docked and waiting
Heading back, we’ll soon be there.
