Steve Norquist (b. 29 April 1954) writes this blog.  He is a musicologist and pianist, and performs obscure, undeservedly forgotten, and just plain odd piano music at his YouTube channel Piano Curiosities with Steve Norquist.

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another Trip Around


Today, as he turns sixty-nine,

He will neither harangue nor opine,

But he wants to be clear

That surviving a year

Is a rather encouraging sign.

Self-Defense


If you sit a table with Steve,

It won’t take you long to perceive

That he’s likely to quote

From some nonsense he wrote,

So just make your excuses and leave!

 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 



No Escape


When you thought that it couldn’t get worse,

He embarked on a new year of verse,

You can bet ten to one, he

Will try to be funny

‘Til they take him away in the hearse.
