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.

Before revising last night's entry, I told you how touchingly the lovely Lee logged her blues.
But that got mixed up with a music entry.
I still want to share the way the woman round a few corners moves me, just as the singers do, when she's upfront about her downs.
So I have.
But I've put it where it's not mixed up.
A small number of you mixed me up, you know, by being so kind it's almost cruel, but it wasn't.
You put your hearts into those mails -- and some direct comments -- saying it's still more than music you want.
Well, that's moved me too, a lot, and I thank you. Okay then, whatever mood I may be in, we'll make a hole in the wall and now you'll find Lee, as well as more of me, in the orchard, since that's what you ask.
The musicians stay where they want to be, but sometimes you may still have my own "secret heartbeats", for those who so wish.
Let's be clear, though.
This change of heart is and will remain purely 'For those who got personal ... and said so'.
Not everybody used words to do this, unless you had no other way, and that's something I deeply appreciate, especially when I'm blue myself.
