Another Beautiful Portrait

 Another gem from Simon J WIlliams.  It's Catsbane, of course!  Thank you, Simon :)

That's a Long Way Down!

 Using AI, I created this image of Whitestone Castle to help me visualize it.  That's one heck of a drop!

Song Lyrics: Lambkins

I didn't write this song, though I did set it to a melody and arrange it.  

The lyrics are public domain and they are by Christina G Rossetti

What can lambkins do

        All the keen night through?

    Nestle by their woolly mother

        The careful ewe.

What can nestlings do

        In the nightly dew?

    Sleep beneath their mother's wing

        Till day breaks anew.

If in a field or tree

        There might only be

    Such a warm soft sleeping-place

        Found for me!

Christina Georgina Rossetti (5 December 1830 – 29 December 1894)

It's Kind of a Scene

Sometime I think podcasting is a lot like being in an indie band.  There's a DIY aspect and a one-fan-at-a-time feel to it that seems so similar to me.  I also can't help but notice how other pods will lift each other up, just like we used to do in our garage band days.

In the same spirit, lately it feel like there's a bit of a Solo Scene developing. Can you feel it too?  Just off the top of my head, in the last few years, we've had so many pop up and new ones are still emerging. As I locate their websites, I'll post them here on the blog.

 The song you hear in the middle of the episode is my version of a poem by HW Longfellow.  Melody and arrangement - as well as some lyric changes - are my own.

‘The Arrow and the Song’

C

I shot an arrow into the air,

Am
It fell to earth, I knew not where;

Dm
So swiftly it flew, my eyes

G
Could not follow its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
He's wise and strong,
Who can follow the flight of a song

Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, to end,
I found in the heart of a friend.

HW Longfellow
