The Blog, the Writing, the Music

Have kind of fallen in love with Twitter.com and micro-blogging.  Andrew Dubber writes that our sites work best as conversations and not as brochures.  I really like that.  When I was working in New England in its wonderful Folk Music scene, my “presence” (since there was NO online line presence then) alternated between hermit-creative and out-there-in- the-clubs-presenter.  Writing was done in a hermetic way.  So with the micro-blog and the blog-blog, can return to the expression part.  Sometimes there is music and sometimes there is not depending on what production I am working on.

Music: Woodstock at the Crossroads cover songs…would like to write about each song, why there were covered, about each of the writers, why Woodstock is even a reference.  So will start there.

Am working on a production of Shantideva’s The Way of the Bodhisattva by His Holiness Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche.  Finishing now the conversion of the profound 9th “Wisdom” Chapter into mp3.  Shantideva takes “patience” way beyond kind of holding our breaths in the grocery line or heavy traffic.  And patience combined with wisdom is something only a small number of human beings attain.  Something really worth wishing for.
