it is a humbling and uplifting feeling

to soothe my son with song.

asa is my favourite audience ...

he is calmed too and entranced

by the sound of my didg,

falling asleep to the vibration.

for so long a didg dabbler,

leaving the serious didging to hamish and drew,

asa now has me buzzing regularly.

thank you little matey ...

visualizing

back home for a while now.

i am loving being a dad.

it is something i hadn't truly envisioned

until relatively recently.

but now the visions come all the time.

i am in the moment with him. and i am visualizing ahead.

it is a captivating, mind blowing state to be in.


as a new parent different things catch my attention now.

this link was sent to me by a good friend. thank you elizabeth.

this bloke had me laughing, reeled me in with his humour,

and thereby made his points all the more memorable.

good food for thought

as one anticipates having a child to educate.

the idea that we can have an education system

that nurtures, rather than kills, creativity ...

the grass is longer still.

another thunderstorm's on the way.

a sleeping baby lies in my arms,

and a new tune plays in my mind.

i am enjoying the spring ...

and the winner is ...

you sent us your choice of BROTHER looks from down the years.
many brought us a smile but in the end there was an obvious winner.
first of all, the best of the rest ...

hamish, drew and dalbo. sterling hotel 2004

roel, pittsburgh irish fest 2002

hamish, knowlton riverfest 2004

hamish, croc rock 2001

hamish and angus, celtic classic 2001


angus, halifax busker fest 1994

angus, brett, fergus, hamish. buskers fest 1994

and now, if you're ready, the one that grabbed the number one position.
appropriately it's the first BROTHER line up that came to america from oz.
hamish, angus, fergus and brett. (i can't verify if that's the correct order)
with a photo from halifax 1994, our congratulations to joanne noakes.
this one brings back many memories from our street performing days,
busking wherever we could to pay the rent.
it's not the best quality image, but maybe that's a good thing.
may i present to you the classic BROTHER bow...




thank you and good night,
angus

changing my mind

thinking of mowing
changing my mind
wanting the wildflowers 

to keep growing a while ...
