Interests
General
Astrology, mythology, politics, ecology, cooking, music esp traditional and folk.Music
Traditional and folk, classical, also anything which makes a glorious racket. Lots of stuff I hear casually, but haven't listed to mainstream music for so long that I'm really out of touch so I don't know what half of it is.
Most of the music I listen to comes from Russ Chandler, the perils of being a musician's wife I suppose.
Anything which turns up at Walthamstow Folk.
I also have little choice than to listen to early 20th Century banjo music courtesy of Russ, so it's a good job that I quite like it.
If I have to mention bands I particularly like I must mention Mawkin, who are a fabulous band from Essex, The Devil's Interval, a wonderful harmony group, whose male singer, Jim Causley will be singing with Mawkin, which I am, so, looking forward to.Books

A quote I like:
First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.

and have bathed in the light of its living force
remember what you have felt;
and whenever you pass a tree
whether it stands alone in a wilderness of human making
or in the depth of woodland,
give a moment of your time to listen to its voice.
For in many parts of the land the trees are dying
only the hearts that know something of the true wisdom can save them. (Anon)
Time to welcome in the Summer, health and happiness.
Si usted ha paseado por el centro del bosque verde
y se ha bañado en la luz de su fuerza viva
recuerde lo que usted ha sentido;
y siempre que usted pase al lado de un árbol
si está parado solamente en un yermo de fabricación humana
o en la profundidad del bosque,
dé un momento de su tiempo para escuchar su voz.
Porque en muchas partes de la tierra los árboles se están muriendo
solamente los corazones que tengan algo de la sabiduría verdadera pueden salvarlos. (Anón)
Hola, encantado de conocerle.

..I belief in
artgeneering...
the artist is only a medium,connected to the spirits around him-
translating vibes into symbolic shapes to reinitialize the ancient way
of using language...
the way of light and color...
without the disguise of words,right through the passage of our eyes...
to reach hearts and souls without taking the intelectual loop way...
natural formulas in an unnatural world...pure and uncensored...
awakening the visiual awareness, the centre of our inner universe...
to let it shine in the way it has allways been before these annoying
times,
that keep us away from our natural mission...
to stay connected with our great mother earth and her deep spirit of
freedom and peace...
we have to regain our nearly lost nativeness,
to stop this wheel of opression and iniquity that haunts our world and
our hearts...it's time for the rainbow warriors :-)

........~ Each New Day ~
-------------------------------------------
..
Each day is a brand new beginning
Each day brings a brand new life
Each day brings plenty of sunshine
And happiness and sorrow and strife.
Each day brings with it a new dawn
Each new day brings smiles and tears
Each day brings us lots of challenges
Each new day brings us sorrows and fears.
Each new day will not be like the last one
Each new day will bring excitement anew
Each new day will bring us new friends
Like it did the first day I met each of you.
But no matter what each new day brings
I know our Lord Jesus will be by my side
There is nothing we can't conquer together
I will walk with my head held up with pride...

DROHNE-
“In the post-psychedelic London of 1968 an impressionable young Phil Martin encountered the hurdy-gurdy of the first time; yet it was to be 20 years before this life-changing experience would culminate in the finding of a playable instrument.
The 70s and 80s were filled with many diverse musical projects; including, playing guitar with Hawkwind's Robert Calvert and new wave pioneers The Record Players, whose music has recently been re-discovered due to inclusion on the Messthetics compilations from US label Hyped to Death.
Phil then teamed-up with early woodwind player Geoff Huggins {aka Geoff X, Zappa Purcell etc} in The Explorers Club who played a melange of medieval punk and English morris music, before a chance encounter with Radio Tirane opened the floodgates to European influences.
It was while checking-

The love story of Ralph and Edna...
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool. Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end.
He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.
The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.'
Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?'
Happy Mental Health Day!
