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.

    Any music which passes through 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.

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.

-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
