Strong Stuff?
The Orchard is space to "think different", if at all. Life brings occasions to cease the endless flow of thought; it can be hard, but wisdom needs quietened minds to grow.
For months, during a dream of love, there were locks on the gate. Now it's open in all weathers. Space, time and mind occupy dimensions that are rarely mentioned in the music log unless musicians do themselves.
You'll find more music here, poetry, prose and pictures for people's special moments, some of my "gurus", sometimes a tribute to a friend no longer with us.
Welcome also to a workshop; other entries concern "tools of the trade" for music-lovers, and there are notes on widely used Mac software and the occasional rant at Apple and the music industry.
This is where ideas can gestate and experiments happen.
Predict Nothing.

Far from towns and sodium haze our garden lies.
Maurice Ravel, always welcome, is composing 'L'Enfant et les sortilèges' (Hockney).
Quiet as other night visitors...
What matters most often occurs in our absence.
It's like daylight life, Ellie.
Doesn't most of what we know happen 'in the dark?'
In times set apart, when we're not looking?
Where infra-red would only fox you, with true night eyes you'll see the beast who's but a friend...

Warm lee of quiet hills;
grumbling waves, flecks of spit at
chattering pebbles.
If so lightly you close those eyes,
it's a flutterby, the turning moon (Cloud Hands).
