Poem: The Broken Chord (revised)
By Jack Brummet
The rain falls
As you practice arpeggios
Running out shimmering notes
In an ever-shifting
Pattern of music sifting
Through the caesuras between the notes
Forming a counterpoint
With the drumming of the rain
Thousand of patterns and polyrhythms
Weave around and through other patterns
The rain chicanes in the wind
Breaking up and merging again
Billions of drops in midair
The rain falls
As you practice arpeggios
Running out shimmering notes
In an ever-shifting
Pattern of music sifting
Through the caesuras between the notes
Forming a counterpoint
With the drumming of the rain
Thousand of patterns and polyrhythms
Weave around and through other patterns
The rain chicanes in the wind
Breaking up and merging again
Billions of drops in midair
Bump together in a choreographed ballet
We can never reproduce
But that's nature for you
We sing paint and write the same story
Over and over and over again
And nature trumps us
With her singular snowflake.

Kent, Washington's Hoot Owl Band, circa 1889
By Jack Brummet, Green River Valley History Ed.
The Hoot Owl Band was a Kent, Washington ensemble that played dances in the Green River Valley. This group shot is from 1889, the same year that Washington became a state.
The Hoot Owl Band was a Kent, Washington ensemble that played dances in the Green River Valley. This group shot is from 1889, the same year that Washington became a state.
The band of eight local men provided music for mostly square dances and included Levy Smith (cornet), and George Crow(fiddle). I believe Levy Smith is of the Smith Brother's family (who owned and ran a large dairy), and I grew up on Crow Street, named for George Crow's family.
