Shemekia

She came here to sing the blues.

Singing with an earth quaking, earth shaking voice
that bellowed with a richness from below.

She uplifted us with her blues . . .

That '' queen sized , super sized , not to be criticized . . . woman'' . . .
rocked those stoic norwegians right out of their seats !

I watched as their spirits rose right up out of their bodies,
 up , up , and  out of that  theater . . .


Amen  to that Shemekia !
