Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): 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.

Gosh, I was so used to seeing your other picture that it took me aback for a moment when I saw you suddenly have a new one....which is another wonderful picture, mind you ! Got Snow up there??? Hope you're staying warm in all this cold stuff. Kitty
Hey Rick, Hope you're doing well. We really love the music you have up here on your page, especially the fiddle tunes. If you're around May 30 and can make the drive to New Bedford come and check out the show we're putting on. We think you'd really like it. We've got 4 folk/americana/string acts and a cd release by North Carolina's Jeff and Benares. It should be a great night. Best wishes, WCS
Hello Rick, Just dropping a note to say that I enjoyed hearing the trio (6 members in your trio?) at NEFFA past Sunday. Love the lush string section. And the guy behind the piano wasn't bad either. Wishing you well, ~Tom
