about

Kathryn Logan, who retired in January 2012 after twenty-seven years as head of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh Music Department, has been a colleague, friend and mentor of mine since I began my career as a music librarian. This song is my small appeciation for the remarkable ways she has touched my life, and those of others at the library and the Pittsburgh music community.

lyrics

LYRICS

You guide a student through the aisles
Past the scores and clipping files
To reveal a world of music and poetry
From dulcimers to do-re-mi
Mozart, Brahms and Debussy
Lady Sings the Blues and Let it Be
No one questions
How each edition
Finds its way onto these shelves
You’re in the spotlight now
Take Another Bow

A cellist with the symphony
A singer wants a different key
An old man and a song he heard way back when
Music for the bride and groom
A student has an audition soon
A little girl learns to play the violin
With music all around
There’s treasure to be found
See the wonder in her eyes
Her journey’s starting now
Take Another Bow

You helped us grow
Kept us together
Through Blue Skies
And Stormy Weather
Your gentle guidance
And words of praise
Touched our lives
In wondrous ways

Songs were sung, concertos played
An overture and a serenade
You were part of each performance, turn the page
Applause is ringing through the hall
You’ve got another curtain call
Grab your roses as you walk to center stage
You gave us music
You gave us laughter
All with grace and style
We’re here to thank you now
Take Another Bow.
