“I’ve been walking through the middle of nowhere
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door”
(Bob Dylan in Tryin’ to get to heaven)

Going up and down the stairs
Die weinende Treppe
A stairwell to sing in
“Now, he sang in stairwells: great acoustics!
Arias, pop songs, show tunes…Nobody
ever saw him. He was always
A flight below, or above, But his voice
throbbed through the entire
stair vestibule of a building—
stirring, thick, authentic.
Closing your eyes, you could easily
imagine yourself at Carnegie Hall.”
(M. Reif in The Stairwell Crooner)
