    Art Jennings ... IJA founding father (performed as "Happy Daze" in the 50's)

    Happy Dayze Are Here Again


    Years ago, there lived a man
    Who juggled tears of laughter
    He had a simple dream in mind
    To live forever after

    Each breath he took, he tossed aloft
    To soar throughout the air
    A skillful gift he gave for free
    For all of us to share

    I caught his breath, like many do
    And pitched it to and fro
    And watched in awe, him come alive
    In each and every throw

    The patterns he created
    Will never go away
    His breath between the objects
    Forever here to stay

    So watch the space above you
    And listen now and then
    You might hear the angels laughing
    Happy Dayze are here again

    Art Jennings... RIP

    Nice Prose...
    ...and a nice way to remember and pay respect to Art Jennings, Father of the IJA. Art would have loved the last convention. Although not physically present, his name and spirit had a heavy presence there, it being the 60th anniversary and all...
    Thanks Robert...
