Music is the heartbeat of Life

I dunno what it is, well maybe I do... music is the energy of the soul... feeding life, feeding creativity... there is no bad music unless it is out of tune poorly arranged, or poorly produced...

lately all i listen to at work is BBC1 on the 'net. Something about getting my daily dose of Edith, Collin, Mills just kinda makes the day...

I started off there having found the essential mix listen again... and then whadda ya know one day I hit the listen live and just well got into it...

I was a die-hard grooveradio fan, listening religiously - chatting - then they went poof... it left me in music wasteland... Swedish Egil constantly was saying we'll be back on air soon... well soon did finally come, but not after exhausting the repetitive playlists at live365 and Launchcast. Getting to the second most obsessive level at launchast went too quickly... BBCRadio1 sealed the deal... i'll pop a disk in now and then - listen to a bit of Celtic (gotta be good), or Midnight Oil, Black 47... stuff that doesn't get a big amount of airplay anywhere... that or pop up KingFM (seattle's classical music station).

without music life sucks...

music feeds creativity, feeds productivity, feeds the soul... playing music is even better - and is probably why i still perform once a year or so... why i hang on the instruments, why i love playing music and sharing it with my daughter...

taking digital images isn't quite the same, capturing beauty is fleeting and a challenge, but its more of having the camera at the right time and knowing enough about how it works to capture a small part of the grandeur.....

someday i'd love to mix my own "essential mix" i'd need to learn, probably with a computer software bit (no $$ to get a table or the vinyl) and MP3s... sure not real "mixing" but i've got enough confidence that i think i could do a damn freaking good job...

well more later - life goes on and the BBC stream is ??? gone???? WTF

First Post

So what do i say... lots i suppose - its a start - and hopefully can get me thinking and exploring what i think. Its rather a strange idea, having this public...

maybe the ideas will just wind up with a few expressed images - frustrations as what i could have done - where I could be - what i missed out on doing...

an area of expression that budds out from a branch that was cut off as it was bearing fruit...

we'll see what develops over the next weeks...

Landscape -

one of my favorites from last season....

Ideas - thoughts...

images - i've got a few i want to get out in a place that they're more open... but they need to be resized...

only landscapes - maybe a few self portraits

sounds more like what i want to do - add the images - document the feelings the thoughts around them...

if no one finds them - dats cool -
