Analysis of I goofed up…
Wayne Blair 1951 (London)
Last week
Performance
Harmonica Group
Rockway senior centre.
Ninety minutes
Or thereabouts.
I threw in some Improv.
Not in the list
Strict list for performing.
Rick stopped full
Dead in his solo.
Could not adjust, continue
Looked over at me
What the…?
Twice…oops.
Trudy later reprimanded.
So that entire Group
Got the message.
Bad Dougie. BAD.
Oops again.
Message received.
(A busker always wants a little fun.)
