I’m not much for bars. I’m 49 years old, married, and I don’t drink. So there’s not much use to it. But I love music, all kinds of music. My wife and I, we’ve gone to the symphony. And now I’m starting to listen to rap, trying to understand it.
So I know there’s good music out there. Syracuse has done a real good job with the blues and the jazz fest. And there’s been a lot of times I’ve been downtown, and you hear the bars playing good music. I don’t go in them. But I walk by them, and you can hear it—it’s good music. I say to myself, “Jeese, this place sounds great.”
Friday night a vein
throbs sensuously, pulsing
with muscular jazz.
