FiftyFive ~ # 55
Holidays are times for doing the things you wouldn't normally, so hurtling through the air on a flying fox, then dropping into a boat on the lake before returning home for lunch seemed just about right. However, it also means you get to wear wacky clothes and hats, like these (above). The question is, though, how do your kids still manage to look great in such a get up? I don't know, maybe its just me. I wanted to post this version of the Tom Waits song, Time, but the embed has been disabled. So if you want to hear Tori Amos singing Time, here it is. Not many people cover Tom better than this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkivthzN49I&feature=related At the weekend I finally managed to finish another paper - entitled, "Icarus in ellipses..." for the AAWP conference in Melbourne, Australia which I am very much looking forward to (if I can get the money to go). But in preparing material for the paper I wrote to the previously posted Karine Polwart (Scottish singer) and asked her for permission to quote her lyrics from the song Beo and she replied saying she was delighted - how's that, isn't email great. It almost seems disrespectful to post the song here but I will and urge you to buy it - this is such a great little clip because it also includes We are All Leaving, which is the song she wrote for the Darwin Song Project. By the way, "Beo" is Gaelic for "life" or "live" - though she didn't know that when she wrote the song - strange thing the subconscious, its as if the word arrived by osmosis:
