a lone singer
with guitar
serenades the diners
who do not listen
with Time After Time
Just The Way You Are
his voice clear
the guitar underscoring
his phrasing
in competition with
large screens
of a football match
and loud conversations
silverware tinkling
glasses clinking
he plays on
sliding effortlessly
from Singing In The Rain
to Josephine
a singer in love
with the lyrics
oblivious to indifference
he plays to entertain
himself

My husband is a musician and has performed in local restaurants and bars. This captures his feelings so well. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome. It is oft times a thankless task, and especially frustrating if you are performing your own material. But much more pleasurable in my view than those bigscreen TVs.
