Open mike is your post.
For announcements, general discussion, whatever you choose.
The usual rules of good behaviour apply (see the Policy).
Step up to the mike …
Don McGlashan, an absolute Music Icon, shares some thoughts for a Sunday, about Water (IMO,Water has always had some underlying deep imagery for Poets,Writers..and yes, Dreamers)
Also includes a lovely version of Anchor me….
PsyclingLeft.Always – thanks for that. What a great version of Anchor Me.

The Charge of the Winston 1st Brigade 🙂
ACT Banshees to right of them,
Green Banshees to left of them…
Allgood DMK, thankyou for linking the Song (And yes Anita is a great accompanist : )
I did laugh at the Don McGlashan' quote : )….
I actually find it quite bizarre how the Nats…(and of course other RW parties world wide) just latch-on, leech-like, to Iconic and meaningful songs/music, and oft times to the Music Artists intense disbelief/displeasure; for their IMO, purely puerile political promo's.
Arrogant? Ignorant? Pretty Legal? Morons? All of that…

Songbirds singing.
Why no one woke up to a new dawn with a Bishop anointed to lead National.
