Lee	Jun 15 2008 8:03 PM The Touch of the Master's Hand "Twas battered and scared, and the auctioneer Thought it scarcely worth his while To waste much time on the old violin, But he held it up with a smile. "What am I bidden, good folks," he cried, "Who'll start bidding for me? A dollar, a dollar - now who"ll make it two _ Two dollars, and who"ll make it three? "Three dollars once, three dollars twice, Going for three". . . but no! From the room far back a gray-haired man Came forward and picked up the bow; Then wiping the dust from the old violin, And tightening up the strings, He played a melody,pure and sweet, As sweet as an angel sings. The music ceased and the auctioneer With a voice that was quiet and low, Said: "What am I bidden for the old violin?" And he held it up with the bow; "A thousand dollars - and who'll make it two? Two thousand - and who'll make it three? Three thousand once, three thousand twice And going - and gone," said he. The people cheered, but some of them cried, "We do not quite understand - What changed its worth?" The man replied: "The touch of the masters hand." And many a man with life out of tune, And battered and torn with sin, Is auctioned cheap to a thoughtless crowd. Much like the old violin. A "mess of pottage," a glass of wine, A game and he travels on, He's going once, and going twice - He's going - and almost gone! But the MASTER comes, and the foolish crowd, Never can quite understand, The worth of a soul, and the change that's wrought By the touch of the MASTER'S hand. ~Myra B Welch

Lee	May 3 2008 6:01 PM "Music is what feelings sound like. ~ Author Unknown" ~ ~ ~ On the discussion of feelings, Singer Lara Fabian once said: "There is not a specific language to say something that comes from the heart." "...it doesn't matter, as long as it is sincere." "I truly believe specific feelings, true feelings, have no limitations and no barriers..." ~ ~ ~ Could this have been proven any better than by what she experienced in one of her own live concerts? I think not. See for yourself: Yes, I believe that music "truly is" what feelings sound like. May you enjoy the rest of your weekend my friend, Lee

WalkaboutsVerse	Apr 16 2008 10:57 AM After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace - 2 of 230, walkaboutsverse. 741. com: WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans. I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind. I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.” Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen. (C) David Franks 2003 76 of 230, walkaboutsverse. 741. com: LAND RIGHTS If there is a good thing From the Second World War It’s that most peoples learnt To conquer lands no more. In Africa, Asia, And the Pacific, too: Post-war independence - Steps only bigots rue. But for some indigenes, Outnumbered much-too-much, It has all come too late For liberty, as such. So ‘tis in Australia, And America’s sites, Where the best now, I think, Is to respect land rights. (C) David Franks 2003

Lee	Mar 24 2008 2:30 PM WILD ORCHID "The flower that walks", the Indian; said, And walking spreads its crown-like roots Through forest glades and upland dales. Moccasin flower or Lady's Slipper, It matters not the name Or if it be fair white or rose or tiny yellow kind Tis ever rare and wondrous there This woodland beauty Bequeathed us from another age. A Heritage to guard with care And cherish for posterity That other eyes in future years May see this Orchid walk the trails As did our native Indian braves And shy eyed maidens of the tribe. -HELEN M. FLEET

Lee	Feb 22 2008 6:25 PM Beautiful Things Beautiful faces are those that wear - It matters little if dark or fair - Whole-souled honesty printed there. Beautiful eyes are those that show, Like crystal panes where hearthfires glow, Beautiful thoughts that burn below. Beautiful lips are those whose words Leap from the heart like songs of birds, Yet whose utterance prudence girds. Beautiful hands are those that do Work that is honest and brave and true, Moment by moment the long day through. Beautiful feet are those that go On kindly ministries to and fro, Down lowliest ways, if God wills it so. Beautiful shoulders are those that bear Ceaseless burdens of homely care With patient grace and daily prayer. Beautiful lives are those that bless Silent rivers of happiness, Whose hidden fountains but few may guess. Beautiful twilight at set of sun, Beautiful goal with race well won, Beautiful rest with work well done. Beautiful graves where grasses creep, Where brown leaves fall, where drifts lie deep Over worn-out hands - oh! beautiful sleep! - Ellen P. Allerton - Keep up the beautifl music.
Hamish Napier	Feb 20 2008 5:39 PM Has been a while indeed Lori! Was just saying that to someone today when i saw one of Innes' many possessions that are scattered around my flat! Hope you're well. I'm teaching, practicing and doing the occasional gig. applying to music
