Man Told Me...

 ...That he thought a couple of my impromptu pieces sounded like Swiss Village Music. He walked over from his parked car to ask about my background. He was Austrian. I told him that on my Mother's side it was English and Danish; on my Father's side it was Scottish, Irish and Pennsylvania Deutch. Nothing Swiss? But I do enjoy the simple pure sound of it and the sincere clarity. He was a real encouragement. Talked for about 15 minutes. Ya see? Music gets us talking, engaging, finding points of agreement, lifting each other up.  This was about 20 minutes after I had seen my Gospel friend Paul, (German and Dutch background, and co-participant in house churches of the past. He heard my Gospel touches, and approached, all smiles and good wishes.)

Port Protection Series on Geographic Channel. Exhilarating.

A fascinating National Geographic series. Very small village on Alaska Island without roads. Only about 95 residents who love the wilderness and the various assignments of mink trapping tree felling clam picking halibut hauling octopus grabbing deer shooting plank trimming garden land clearing northern lights gazing etc. They realize the fullest meaning and worth of community. For example one guy hauls in halibut at 110 pounds. Couple of good meals for 15 families, He says. Fascinating to watch successive episodes.

This will help get you going young man. Have fun. Believe that undoubtedly you are getting the techniques. And pleasing some listeners. Behave with as much relaxed and smiling professionalism as you can muster. People will give you lots of credit. Oh yeah, they will. Now listen to this goal and example with a harp. Her name is Indiara Sfair. She is from Brazil. Not bad to look at either. Definitely she appears to enjoy what she does. And she plays well with other expert musicians/singers. Consider also how she uses her cupped hands. Sort of a sounding box. Or visit the Harmonica Barge. Robert Service poem https://internetpoem.com/robert-service/the-song-of-the-mout-poem/ Adam Gussow, good teaching, bluesy stuff. “Sloppy” stye is needed. Christmas tune And let us finish fancy with Buddy Greene. Incomparable.
