And frisbees flung, would hover bliss All songs unsung, belonged to this Hours and days, to weeks and years Fun deployed what joy reveres And fickle though our passions were, We noticed love, let it occur To Richard Knerr I give salute His influence you won't refute For subtile meaning's abounding cheer His life and times brought peer to peer. Well done, Richard! ttr |

I suppose the fact that music was being performed at the time somehow qualifies this for a Mudcat music thread, no? |
