    .. .. "You're on the edge of a windy Irish cliff and you wonder why the sky looks so yellow...is it because you drank too much whiskey or...hang on...am I in Ireland at all? Looking up at the pink sky you dont realize you are stepping over the edge of the cliff. You tumble down the rocks exceeding the speed of light. When you plunge into the water it appears to be surprisingly warm... You wake up and realize you're still in that smokey bar, dusty theatre or at that sunny festival...the first thing you hear is a fiddle joined by uilleann pipes surrounded by a whirlwind caused by two string instruments... There's a window in the roof and there's a distant star shining through. Listening to STARGAZER you'll know there's different planets out there where the sky has all colours of the rainbow...".... Stargazer consists of four musicians who prove that accoustic music can still groove like nothing else. In the music of Stargazer elements of musical traditions from different parts of the world (and other planets!) are brought together into unique arrangements and compositions..... Stargazer did several Irish theatre concerts together with Carel Kraayenhof and Niamh Parsons .... Background picture by Jeroen van Sonsbeek .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. ..

    What's up Stargazer? Your cleverness helps me breathe without the need of oxygen. Your layers of absinthe and torsion form concretions of hyper-alimentation. I love your eyes, I know they can stare through my thoughts. Your eyes show as many deep and full shades of fire as a thousand supernovas. Your hair sends forth a sheen remniscent of golden sunlight winding through shadows. Your intoxicating reflection can but incorporate freely into the powerful surface of a disintegrating mirror set afloat upon a swarm of locusts.

    Hey Stargazer, Please let me hear more of that wonderful sound. I sense wild vapors of sweet champagne in your larynx. Entranced by the sweet harmony of your lips, I gaze beyond reason to find the oasis of your brilliant soul. The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure. Your layers of absinthe and torsion form concretions of hyper-alimentation. Your wonderfully bright soul keep the demons from torturing me.

    Hi Stargazer, If I could have just one wish, it would be to wake up to your songs in the morning. The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure. Polished rock candy comes ever to mind when thinking of you. I keep searching for you between the cushions. In your absence I am forced into finding other forms of amusement while thinking about you. Your essence is equal to the beauty of a galaxy. Cities crumble, skies ignite spontaneously in your presence.

    What's goin' on Stargazer? You have not yet reached the height of your creativity. Your layers of absinthe and torsion form concretions of hyper-alimentation. How it passes there and back again like a tear drop glistening in moonlight. Polished rock candy comes ever to mind when thinking of you. The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure. Transistors bridge where your vanity would never go. Cities crumble, skies ignite spontaneously in your presence.

    After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on MySpace...

    Poem cum song 5 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my Blog for details):
    STATE TO STATE

    (TUNE:

    From Sydney Town,
        In uni. break,
    I drove out west
        To earnings make
    Onion picking,
        On the fields
    Of Echuca,
        That year’s yields.

    After day’s work,
        From Y.H.A.,
    A group of us
        Would not delay
    To walk on down
        To the dirt rim
    Of the Murray,
        For a cool swim.

    On one such day,
        I do declare,
    Some three of us
        Had a big dare
    To swim across,
        From state to state,
    The wide Murray -
        I took the bait.

    Yes, foolishly,
        I took the bait -
    A choice that I
        Would come to hate,
    For I almost
        Did drown that date,
    Making the swim
        From state to state.
