PART I
Mississippi one and Mississippi two
Oh say can you see,
well what’re we gonna do,
this old man river is wider than mile
my huckleberry friend
Between the world and me
there is no place finer
for you and me to be.
Right here right now,
put your hand on your heart.
Yes you, just you, barefoot with me
right here by the river,
‘cause this is our river.
And if rivers could dance
no one has done better.
If rivers could pray
this one’s on its knees.
If rivers could sing,
just close your eyes and listen
close your eyes and listen.

DILEMMA
They agreed
They won’t talk about that
But they won’t agree about anything.
A good proposition is a
cheap imposition
if it’s not their idea in the first place.
Kill the lights, close the doors
Done here.
There is an aisle between them
More than a mile between them
Windmill stories spin.
Somebody’s gotta lose
“It ain’t me babe.”
Pay the cashier on the way out.
Jefferson and Washington
tried very hard,
held all the cards.
Black servants to bring the tea.
Sprightly now, no denial,
comfort was the key
to a lovely day.
Oh and revolution? yes yes yes!
They had one. It was grand.
But there was a flaw in the plan.
Shoot the Brits, all dressed in red
Create this world here instead
where all men are created equal.
Well… sort of, but ….. uh
remember, they agreed?
They won’t talk about that.
Which side are you on?

Michael J. Miles Chicago, Illinois
Imagine Bach on the 5-string banjo. And then the fretless, sweaty blues of 1930’s, sung like it matters. Mix in Cole Porter and a fresh take on John Lennon’s guitar. Michael J. Miles has been celebrated for his virtuosity; but he calls it curiosity because that’s what drives him. Musical hunter-gather and boundless genre-bender, you’ll be surprised by what he plays next. ... more
