A South African Musician's Musings: June 2010
http://southafricanmusician.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 22, 2010. The Pioneer Rally 2010. In 2006 my, then, manager told me I'd been asked to do a rally in Cape Town to help raise funds for a school for the blind in Worcester. Clueless as to the ins and outs of the exercise, I said, "No problem! A short while later I discovered that I would be driving the car and my navigator would be blind and all the navigation would be in Braille! I nearly had a heart attack. How on God's green earth was I going to do this? The first rally I did with Andre, a...

A South African Musician's Musings: A place in my space
http://southafricanmusician.blogspot.com/2009/12/place-in-my-space.html
Saturday, December 5, 2009. A place in my space. The person you spend the most time with, is yourself. It stands to reason, then, that you should have a high enough opinion of yourself to be able to stand yourself for long periods! It's a simple step from there, to telling yourself little lies. Is this confusing the hell out of you? It's doing the same to me! It's going to be even harder to look someone you love in the eye and say, "I screwed up! I'm starting to bore myself! I just think I've talked this...

A South African Musician's Musings: I am
http://southafricanmusician.blogspot.com/2010/05/we-are-love.html
Tuesday, May 11, 2010. The bitter taste of defeat. Weaves and winds its wicked way through my unforgiving veins. The mad disease of malevolence. Casts a black pall over a feeble patch of grey light. The knowledge of duplicity. A constant thief of my comfort. Unhinged by a demon. In denim and shrouded head. Silent screams echo and bounce. Off white walls stained with pain. The need to strike. At nothing of consequence. The padded boundaries of my sanity. The walls of silence. Falling piece by piece.

A South African Musician's Musings: I am Blue
http://southafricanmusician.blogspot.com/2010/01/i-am-blue.html
Sunday, January 17, 2010. I found the note that you left me. Words that scraped their way through my heart with the sharpness of a knife. Did you mean to cut my sanity in two? I wonder how it feels for you. Safe in your security. Safe in my lack of it. The knowledge that you can. You smile through lies. With the ease of a wolf dressed as a lamb. Knowing your identity is safe. Knowing your prey is unsuspecting. I, the almost wife. You would spy on my broken life? My pain never meant that much. Oh yes, you...

A South African Musician's Musings: If you have nothing good to say...
http://southafricanmusician.blogspot.com/2010/05/if-you-have-nothing-good-to-say.html
Thursday, May 27, 2010. If you have nothing good to say. I stumbled upon a link to a news article talking about Ellen de Generes new record label and the first artist she has signed up. His name is Greyston Chance. The article raved about him so, naturally, I HAD to go and check him out! I always start out listening to anything new with a high level of skepticism! If you are listening to it with a musician's ear, the chord changes are anything BUT simple, especially if you take it from whence it comes!

A South African Musician's Musings: Fly, little Angel
http://southafricanmusician.blogspot.com/2009/12/fly-little-angel.html
Tuesday, December 29, 2009. Fly, little Angel. You left this world on 5 December 2008. In the wake of your sudden departure, lies a pathway scattered with broken hearts and puddles of water formed by the tears of those who have survived you. How, though, does one survive the aftermath of a sudden loss? The reality is too unreal for a mind to comprehend. You were too young, too vibrant, too full of life, too PRESENT to suddenly no longer be. How do you get your mind around such a solid fact, when that fac...
