Subject: Lorenzo Thomas (1944-2005)
Lorenzo Thomas, a radiant voice of, and for, the poetry of the
Americas, died this morning, on the Fourth of July. His life and work
is something to celebrate today.
August 31, 1944 (Republic of Panama) -- July 4, 2005 (Houston)
.....
It was in those days musicians started dancing
Didn't have to touch their instruments.
In fact, they couldn't even stop the music playing
It was so much sadness in the world
--- from "Back Ordered Tears" from _Dancing on Main Street_ (2004)
