Longevity


When writing a verse about Jagger,

The obvious rhyme word is “swagger,”

But I thought I’d avoid the cliché

And not mention his swagger today.


But in candor I cannot ignore

That as Jagger approaches four score,

He swaggers through each concert date,

As he will ‘til he’s known as “the late.”

Angela Hewitt (b. 26 July 1958) is a Canadian classical pianist, especially admired for her Bach playing. 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Specialty


Angela Hewitt made a career

Of playing Bach, or pretty near.

She plays some other things, of course,

Perhaps with equal style and force,

And yet, no matter how you view it,

Bach’s identified with Hewitt.
