John Bennett #25 Tap dancing to Persia

                                                                        Saturday Night

Ask anyone up Harlem way

Who that guy Bojangles is

They may not know who's president

But ask 'em who Bojangles is . . . Dorothy Fields, sung by Fred Astaire (blackfaced).

They know now, president elect Trump, the word repeated ad nauseam. We are all playing contract bridge, we the white folks that is - with the most to lose and much more to gain.

 

Not a wossit, bundy, see
For jangle and bojangle. Robert Wyatt, Alifib, Rock Bottom

Played 40 times in a row, the whole room stoned out of gravity.

Mr Bojangles

If you see any of those baggy pants it was huge chuck the hills

If you know it was a violin to be answer the telephone and if

anyone asks you please it was trees it it it is like that

Mr Bojangles, Mr Bojangles, I reach you. Christopher Knowles, Trial 1, Einstein on the Beach.

Mr Bojangles is repeated over eighty times and never boring.

Music heard anew, renewed through repetition - visceral.

Early Islamic artists used plants to create patterns

working repetition within a grid playing

with symmetry through rotation and reflection.

Isfahan again was well worth the risk.
