Re: Some still seek
Numbats kneel
Wombats weep
Echidnas ecumenize
Tasmanian devils declaim
Wallabies whirl
Quolls quiver and quieten
His Holiness, shakuhachi pope
of the Southern Hemisphere
approaches
Ro's are blown
Pints of bitter brewed
Bombay sapphires served
Microtones morph and mutate
Bore barriers shift
Schisms self-destruct
Sound frontiers are shaken
(Happy belated B-day; may you have a magnum opus)

Re: Some still seek
Thanks everyone, and none were belated because after all I was born in the Northern Hemisphere!
Nice poem, Dan, I am honored.

Re: Some still seek
Happy Birthday Tairaku!
I'd heard some Shakuhachi music before, but hearing your Sankara Sugagaki made me want to play Shakuhachi.
THANK YOU.

Re: Some still seek
Thanks Jim,
By a strange coincidence someone sent me an awesomely funky Jim Thompson CD as a birthday present! It rocks!
Ciao,
BR

Maybe on your birthday you can help him finally get a few of those Femmes recordings sold.
