The Walking Experiment
Tonight I did something I don’t usually do and I went for a walk listening to music. A few months back, Jim was mentioning listening to music when out walking. I replied to him saying that I couldn’t really do that, that I like to take the sounds of life in when I’m walking. That…
New Gold Dream – Redux (Lyric Art)
Yeah, think I’m pretty much wanting to get the “redos” out the way first, before moving on to wholly new ones. I’m unsure about this one. I started with the concept of a triptych of Jims (ie: new/gold/dream = Jim/Jim/Jim)…but…I dunno. I struggle to get yellows/golds as I want them to be. I’ll sit with…
Screaming Edge Of Light

Dublin Extras – Gig 8-9 – Part Five
More extras from Dublin – penultimate set of photos… I saw and felt quite a few similarities between Dublin and Sydney…it was the last thing I expected, actually. The day of gig No. 2. Selfie attempt number one – not bad (could do without the “orange peel” right arm). I SSSOOO wanted an Acoustic shirt…
Dublin Extras – Gig 8-9 – Part Four
From the visit to Trinity College and the Book of Kells… Book of Kells guide leaflet with poem of Pangur Bán inside. The wording of Pangur Bán reminded me so much of Jim. Esp. the “Hunting words I sit all night” – the anecdote he tells (or has been told of him) of sitting in…
