Roscoe Weathers


Roscoe often dropped in

we had a few philosophical conversations.

He didn't need a journal to write poetry in,

some people are just "poetic"

his life was his poem...

a life commited to HIP!

an accomplished musician who could play flute,

and reed instruments,

he could make music as he walked along using his throat,

his whistle, and a way he had of trilling his lips,

he played "Swingin' Shepard Blues" for me,

he didn't need an instrument.

I was impressed by this man,

and it wasn't his music,

it was his COOL,

Roscoe Weathers

was/is

one of the COOLEST CATS I've ever known...
