A benediction, in music

I have always thought that one of the most powerfully fulfilling moments must be to stand on a stage, alone, in front of tens of thousands of people and sing a simple, but deeply emotive, song as those myriads stand before you, silent in homage

I love this post. I'm so glad I friended you, all that time ago.

Thanks ;) Sorry I've been so absent recently - been concentrating really hard on making a living and keeping life and limb together. Am thinking of you ...

your post is another reason that i miss living in africa.

(that is, i rather liked living somewhere that all you need to do to hear ismael lo playing is, well, open the front door.)

I could add, though, that I can open my front door (theoretically) and listen to Johnny Clegg, FreshlyGround, Hugh Masakela, Jimmy Dludlu, etc.

A propos of nothing in this post: check your email for an example book contract.

Thanks, been intending to write, still not coping with all and all ... however, much appreciated ;)
