Sentimentality.
L. B. Mek said:
\'Shows you have a big heart
And are not afraid,
Not afraid to let others see it.\'
you seemingly have such an intuitive feel
for when to utilise repetition, with purposed intent
and not as some get-out-of-jail
forcedly enforced: rhyme scheme...
makes a huge difference, at least for me
and underlines, just why so many
can relate to your artistic integrity
so easily, thanks for sharing Andy

Good write Gold.
Meanwhile - I wish I would stop singing. It only spreads un-happiness! hehehe.
You got that song for me? Over the hills and far away? (a million miles preferably, they say) lol.

dusk arising said:
An interesting question you raise here. I am lucky to be a predominantly happy (glass half full) type of person - used to annoy others with my monday morning happiness - but i could have just as easily been born predominantly unhappy and negative.
We can\'t change people to be happy but remaining happy ourselves is important. Don\'t let the buggers draw you down. Having said that though, don\'t be aloof.
Well that\'s my three-penneth without attempting to penetrate the subject deeper and come up with a load of mumbo-jumbo as befits some.

With you all the way, Andy. Where appropriate make yourself vulnerable - how the other reacts is a good test (ensure you have a safe exit should things go pear shaped).

You do make it hard sometimes, Andy - now I know I\'ve been around a fair while, but he was a bit before my time....however if you had mentioned Zorba, I might have been able to contribute something constructive to this particular collumn.......

Did we meet him in 1066? Was he around then?
He thought he met an honest man in a politician. But then - he opened his mouth? We knows the rest.

And The Wind Blows.
Doggerel Dave said:
The clouds, the trees, the sea, the waves of corn..all provoked rich memories - thanks, Andy.
The bike? Ahh the bike...rode one for years - try bottom gear...No good? Plan a trip in the opposite direction and hope the bloody wind has exhausted itself by the time you have to get home....

dusk arising said:
And the wind blows
as I sit in the bathroom
staring at the washbasin.
Love the sound of that quartet (but theyre not quite polished at that style of jazz yet). Names to watch out for in years ahead.
Sound is reminiscent of a lot of ECM jazz recordings who use similar groupings.
Excellent poetry.

Laughter On The Lawn.
L. B. Mek said:
well then
let us toast, us \'old twats\'
who survived
to keep our loved ones, alive
within each smile
we display: Defiantly, each day!
\'Cheers\' 🍻 - my friend
to many more years, being serenaded
by laughter\'s music
while watching youthful vitality, script
their future\'s: tears of regret...

Good write Gold.
Even teenagers are young. It\'s said youth are still developing their road-sense even at age 12 - crossing busy roads, etc.
You got road sense? That No.7 bus arrived yet?! lol.

If you\'re having fun then laughter is a great way of remembering the day. A cheeky comment is always worth a chuckle 🙂

Wynton is probably the most technically proficient trumpet player of all time. What he is doing on circular breathing alone is mind blowing. Whilst being dazzled by his playing here, I would much rather enjoy the picture being painted rather than be dazzled. I.E. Chet never dazzled but painted with his soul.
Well as one \"old twat\" to another. Long live being an old twat, they may never achieve it.

Nothing To Prove.
L. B. Mek said:
insightful observations Andy,
indeed, what most colours the perception we have for others
is our projection of what we assume
we would be like, in their shoes..
but like the bequeathed wisdom of our ancestral teachings
until we\'ve walked in the other persons shoes
we can not judge, merely: speculate...
or in more accessibly palatable: biblical terminology
\'Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam
out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou
see clearly to cast out the mote
out of thy brother\'s (&/or sisters) eye.\'
