Right on, Jazz Cat! Daniel, I can so totally relate to this poem. Gato Barbieri is one of my all time favourites. And his music very quickly puts one into an altered state of consciousness. It's as if he is freeing the astral body to travel to other realms. And that's a helluva lot more liberating than any drug! ! ! This is a great homage. Thoroughly enjoyed the EXPERIENCE! ! ! Thank you so very much! !
I first encountered Gato in the music he wrote for LAST TANGO IN PARIS. I admire Brando's heroic performance in a role another actor would have made anti-heroic and Gato's searing sax defined the character's angst. I'm so glad my poem gave you this charge of astral energy.

I'm so glad I read your poem Daniel as I then listened to Gato Barbieri 'Live From The Latin Corner 2001' on YouTube with my earphones, feet up with a glass of red. A great start to my two days off.... WOW....LOVE IT
I love your comment Simone. I'm delighted my poem added to your listening to Gato perform. The red wine is a nice touch.
