After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.

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.
are you playing thursday at the PG? I hope to make it there for dinner with my mom. maybe I can also attend the contra dance next weekend, but not sure yet.
I have an idea for a music event, and I'm wondering whether it's worth pursuing. What do you think of this:
Matt and Shannon Heaton are playing Caffe Lena on Sat. Dec 20. Sometimes they do workshops in addition to their gigs. So, maybe they'd be willing to do a workshop on Dec 20, when they're in Saratoga for their Caffe Lena gig.
But, is the idea (a workshop) just out of the question? I mean, it will be the Saturday before Christmas; so, will Saratoga be a parking nightmare that weekend? Will people be too busy shopping to do an Irish music workshop? Would there even be any place available to hold an afternoon workshop? I have no idea.
But if you think there's a fair number of people interested in a workshop with the Heatons then I'd be happy to cajole them. At this point I'm not even sure if it would be a flute/guitar workshop or a tune learning session or what... I'm just trying to get a feel for how many people might be interested. So if anyone's interested please let me know! -Dave
