Minds Music Monday – This Earth That You Walk Upon – SAF/SFC 40th Anniversary Celebration
When you consider the tracks on the album that have just gone by – the thumping drum and bass monster of Boys From Brazil and the pre-techno genre Euro dance beat of Love Song – there is a calming and stillness to This Earth. A soft rim shot (that’s what that particular percussive sound is…
Where To Share (To The One That Disnae Seem To Care)?
There are still things I see on the odd occasion in which I think “Oh Jim would like that/find it funny/interesting.” And in the past that would mean my posting it to the SM FB visitor wall. But I don’t think he’d even see it now. So… maybe I would post it to SMOG? Except…

I miss the conversation I’d have with him! But I can miss it all I like. Disnae mean hee haw.
Scenic Scotland
Oh, at long last! After nine months in the tightest restrictions in all of the UK, Glasgow came out of Level 3 lockdown last Saturday, June 5th. I was happy to let a few days pass by at least until we tried to get out and see anything. Just bide time a little longer. We…
Bryn The Beautiful Blackbird
A watercolour painting of a blackbird in song that I had commissioned by my amazingly talented friend, Deb. Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I like to give birds alliterative names. All my own crappy creations ended up with alliterative names and so upon deciding on a name for Bryn I thought about…
