Barney Kessel

The sweetness of bossa nova
Fills the room.
He keeps playing.
Years ago
No one news these songs,
But now they are romantic
Like lotus flowers
And red sangria at the end of the summer.
The music is so sunny
And sometimes even amber-coloured,
And it carries us away.
The best date of each summer
Is a touch of this music -
Luxurious, open-minded,
Exciting and sensual.

The way he plays the guitar
Is like walking on a tightrope
Above a white beach
And a turquoise sea.
