I'm sure many others do the same. It doesn't mean I disagree with the sentiment or haven't enjoyed or been educated by the prose, just that I have not found the time or the words to record my response.<br />The seeming lack of initial response to the march on the 26th does not mean it was a bad idea for Rob to attempt to rally support, it simply means that people kept their thoughts to themselves for their own reasons. However, when the quiet ones were asked why they were quiet, they responded by the score - mainly anonomously - which tells a tale.<br />For all those in the world who are suffering right now - whether it be due to the forces of nature, the idiocy of nuclear power or dictatorial power, my heart goes out to you.<br />Sometimes, the rest of us are all too busy holding our own lives together to give our time to help.<br />It doesn't mean we don't care, it probably means that when we ourselves are in need, we will meet with the same response.<br />Keep up the good work Rob. Carry on doing what you feel is right.<br />shoreham_steveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022998136972946830.post-38182043859975407952011-03-17T21:10:05.884+00:002011-03-17T21:10:05.884+00:00so sorry to hear that sam,hope you some luck findi...so sorry to hear that sam,hope you some luck finding more work<br /><br />mickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022998136972946830.post-44745593058242966222011-03-17T01:14:36.537+00:002011-03-17T01:14:36.537+00:00Yes Mick!

Very interesting. <br /><br />Tony give me a bell some time and we'll get you hooked up to a digital recorder through a little skull chip interface I am working on lol. You too Mary!<br /><br />If only I could write songs while asleep. It would be perfect for some one like me. I hate going to bed and I hate getting out of it but I could say " I was working prone" as distinct from "working from home".<br /><br />Regarding the Japan graphic do what ever you like with it. Print a copy if you want to and if you make a T-shirt Roger please make one for me please.One of my responses to feeling over awed or over whelmed by something, and both applied to my reaction to the japanese crisis, is to try to make something. It helps me.<br /><br />Actually Runer I'd sit with you beside your lake and I might not mind too much if I was too distracted to write any songs. <br /><br />Take care all.<br /><br /><br />Peaceedgar broughtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14010798160319281908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022998136972946830.post-1368637399451775132011-03-16T20:13:02.234+00:002011-03-16T20:13:02.234+00:00I think some of us have the expectation and reason...I think some of us have the expectation and reason to remember a lot of this kind of thing whereas others think it all a bit odd and forget all about it, unless it's a couple of potential "hits" like Tony's.

In Greek mythology ...Nice story. A work mans tale.<br /><br />In Greek mythology the muses were the goddesses who inspire the creation of literature and the arts. <br /><br />I guess song writers are connected to some thing like the thing the Greeks were trying to understand and explain. Perhaps we are all connected to it but, for most of us it seems it is to a lesser degree. Ah well. Can't have everything lol.<br /><br />Power to you.<br /><br />AktivoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022998136972946830.post-86497062506029879992011-03-15T21:53:43.066+00:002011-03-15T21:53:43.066+00:00I was interested by Tonys comment and his two song...I was interested by Tonys comment and his two songs. I wonder where it all comes from. <br /><br />I have some great dreams where there is music I don't recognise. Not songs but like background film music. I can never remember any of it when I wake up though.<br />I wonder if others have similiar experiences.<br /><br />Interesting blog as usual.

I know how it feels when some thing seems lost.<br /><br />I think your yoik material is very interesting and unusual, especially the video with the chanting. How did your interest begin?
