The voice of Jacques Brel is still in every
guitar,
in every land,
east and west, north and south. It is the voice of our souls, from
youth to age, of all our seasons, of all our loves and sorrows.
***
That great voice is not gone,
It is flourishing in California.
The voice of Brel. Jacques Brel is still heard
in the voice of Simon Dray in San Francisco.
These two are like brothers,
in the ways they sing of passion,
so much alike,
each on their own continent,
each in their own decade.
***
This great voice,
The father and the grandfathers of this great voice
are still travelling between the stars,
blending with all music gone before.
