   Since Mark Weber aka Jersey Jazzman gifted us, let me—if others will permit me the privilege—gift him with a song that I think of sometimes when I visit his blog—

   JAZZMAN, sung by Carole King.

   Lift me, won’t you lift me above the old routine?
   Make it nice, play it clean, Jazzman

   When the Jazzman’s testifyin’ a faithless man believes
   He can sing you into paradise or bring you to your knees
   It’s a gospel kind of feelin’, a touch of Georgia slide
   A song of pure revival and a style that’s sanctified

   Jazzman, take my blues away
   Make my pain the same as yours with every change you play
   Jazzman, oh Jazzman

   When the Jazzman’s signifyin’ and the band is windin’ low
   It’s the late night side of morning in the darkness of his soul
   He can fill a room with sadness as he fills his horn with tears
   He can cry like a fallen Angel when the risin’ time is near

   Jazzman, take my blues away
   Make my pain the same as yours with every change you play
   Jazzman, oh Jazzman

   Oh lift me, won’t you lift me with every turn around?
   Play it sweetly, take me down, oh Jazzman
