Thanks Anthony & Francine! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - it's a bit nerve-wracking, seeing myself on screen....
I've no idea why the 'comments' function on the blog leads to a blank screen. I tried re-posting the link, but the same thing happens. Sadly my computer literacy is below par and I don't quite understand what to do to set it right....

Hi Steve,

I watched the video on YouTube and thought it was extremely well produced - a message delivered with humour and a Robin Hood philosophy.
Like Anthony said, it adds a whole new dimension to the feel of the words...

Thank you for sharing!

Hi Steve,

Just wanted to let you know how much I admired your "angry Poet" video. For some reason I can't seem to open your blog post to comment there, the link just takes me to a blank screen (?) - maybe you should check it out. Also left comments on YouTube. Very well done.

Regards,
A.E.

Hello Jade .. thank-you .. yes, I signed in, a dark cloud descended, and I wrote that .. must've been something I had for tea !! .. no seriously I log in then make myself write for a few minutes - that's where that came from .. m .s.
10-12-12 - thanks again - no it's not clever I write down my first/immediate thoughts then edit and prune a bit till they look strong enough to stand up - then I abandon it for ever .. cheers!

Thanks so much for comments (Dowser)- have just added an audio (but it's a bit "thrummy"). I know just what you mean about Houdini - but then, maybe he just couldn't do it? We cross our fingers and hope maybe...

.. in 1975 I went to the Free Trade Hall to see Capt. Beefheart - first on was Henry Cow with Dagmar Krause - after 20 mins I gave up trying to understand their music and went to the bar - now I wish I'd stayed and listened ....

Hi Nick. Thanks for your comments on my poems and audio of First Class Ticket. When I heard the audio of Thirst it caught my ears. Accomplished......Highly trained or skilled. I'm not highly trained. Hope I've got a bit of skill. You and your mates are skilled. More please! Take care, Tony.

Now then, Izzy.
Hope you are well. Thanks for your comments on "White Rabbit". Cathy seems to have exposed my ignorance in the trouser department.
I had second thoughts about using the Jefferson Airplane tune as it is one of my favourites. It seems to have a musical structure which just climbs from one plane to the next. Roy Orbison's "In Dreams" is similar. Marvellous and uplifing - but you just want more verses!

Hello Cathy,
Many thanks for your comments on "White Rabbit".
I did suspect that the photo I pinned wasn't a rabbit.
When I googled for images of a rabbit I got some things with sticky-out bits which I just couldn't work out where they'd fit. You'll have to excuse my ignorance in the trouser department.
But in the pursuit of literary integrity I'd be happy to be shown.

Hello Mike,
Glad you liked "White Rabbit". If you know the original, as I do, I suspect you're giving your age away.

Hello MC,
Thanks for your thoughts on "The Walrus and the Carpenter" and "White Rabbit". I seem to be giving Lewis Carroll a bit of a battering, which is, in fact, the very opposite of my respect for him.

But hope The Bricklayer doesn't come over as too much of a rant. Its for people who say that those who are only now coming out with the neglect and abuse suffered 30 year or more ago are grown adults and should shut up and get over it.

Hi Greg, I appreciate your very kind words on 'Underground'. This was based on some recent work found in a book at Waterstones.

Astonishing stuff actually & to a claustrophobe like myself, absolutely terrifying. Fascinating though what lies beneath our feet & slides into the mire with the passage of time.

I don't suppose your other half is involved in the Messiah choir at HG Welles on 8th December by any chance! Was thinking of going along.

CHEERS.

Hello MC,
Thankyou for your kind comments on "Catch the Bins" and "Compliment". Both are from my "back catalogue". I seem to have hit a dry patch recently, having written more short stories than verse.
