May Street Tapes - Good Night Prayers. Conclusion, with Mystery Poem.

Angels are the subject of the mystery poem, the prayer in verse, that runs from 2:43 to 3:43.

JPZ and JFZ Johnny read it together - is sounds like four lines - after which we hear JPZ's voice saying teraz razem. That is "now once".  Razem is a time, an occasion, an instance of something occurring.

So JPZ says teraz razem, whereon the two of them repeat the verse.

Then, in what is the most poignant part for me, we hear our JPZ say OK teraz Daddy.

JPZ performs the verse, in a way that emphasizes the phrasing; quite beautiful.

Then JPZ says teraz Johnny. Following the demonstration, the pupil has another go at the verse.


The show ends with the Goodnight Song in duet. There is a break in the tape, followed by a JPZ solo rendition, in a lower key no doubt more comfortable for him, and very possibly after a little nip, a little nightcap.

I've searched so far in vain for the text to this angel prayer. Can anybody make a suggestion?

Marty, thanks so much for retrieving these files for us so they can be archived.
