Background Music (Series) by Bertie Brown

original drawing on gessoed music manuscript: 9"w x 12"h

A View From the High C’s

Is where I’ll be

With sketchbook in hand

Though it’s not what I planned

As I once took my place

In the second horn space

Or I played in the band

Or a show

With the pit crew way below...

But this view’s not so bad

There’s no stress to be had

Here in the Fulton’s lofty lairs

Above the balcony

And second stairs

Now the music that surrounds

These halls and abounds

Gives my drawings their sound

And I’m glad just to see

The view from the high C’s...
