The Fabulous Commodore Ballroom

Jazz & blues
And swing and twang
I’ll always remember
When kd sang

John McLaughlin
Stilled the crowd
Who waited, all, ’til
The notes died down

Sun Ra confounded
All musical bound’ries
Babatunde Olatunji
Laid beats down like foundries

Philosopher Kings
With hipster swagger
Ran temporal swirls
Bringing love’s sure dagger

I’ve danced there
And raved there
Gawd I wish
I could stay there

Vancouver’s best heirloom
It’s The Fabulous
Exquisite
Commodore Ballroom
