まだまだ明るい7時に演奏が始まり、だんだんと日が暮れていき、演奏者たちのバックの空が夕焼けに染まるころ、リーダーが 'Take the A train' と曲を紹介して演奏が始まれば、ハーレム住宅街の雰囲気とも相まってもう何というか、実に良かったですね。1時間40分程度の公演時間でしたが、最後のほうはもう完全に日が沈んで暗く、街灯と玄関灯の明かりの中だけの演奏になっていて、これがまた実によくて、もうたまりましぇ〜ん!!(^-^)v
the whole day through.
Just an old sweet song
keeps Georgia on my mind.
Talkin' 'bout Georgia
I'm in Georgia.
A song of you comes as sweet and clear
as moon light through the pines.
Other arms reach out to me.
Other eyes smile tenderly.
Still in peaceful dreams I see
the road leads back to you.
Georgia
sweet Georgia
no peace I find.
Just an old sweet song
keeps Georgia on my mind.
Just an old sweet song
keeps Georgia on my mind.
I’m feelin’ mighty lonesome
Haven’t slept a wink
I walk the floor an’ watch the door
In between I drink
Black coffee …
Love’s a hand-me-down room
I’ll never know a Sunday
In this weekday room.
Been talkin’ to the shadows
One o’clock ‘til four
An’ Lord how slow the moments go
When all ya do is pour
Black coffee …
Since the blues caught my eye
I’m hangin’ out on Monday
My Sunday dreams to dry.
You know a man is born to love a woman
To work and slave to pay her debts
Just because he’s only human
To drown his past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes.
I’m moonin’ all the mornin’
Mournin’ all the night
In between it’s nicotine
Not much heart to fight
Black coffee ...
Feelin’ low as the ground
I’m waitin’ for my baby
To maybe come around.
Gonna drown my past regrets
In some coffee and a few cigarettes.
I’m moonin’ all the mornin’
Mournin’ all the night
In between it’s nicotine
And not much heart to fight
Black coffee …
Feeling low as the ground
It’s driving me crazy!
Just waitin’ for my baby
To maybe come around.
Please come around
Please come …
