NEWS FROM THE POTTING SHED - Music dept - I am working flat out on the lyric book for THE INSUBSTANTIAL PAGEANT the new Gardening Club album. The first song is a setting of Shakespeare's ARIEL'S SONG from The Tempest. This sets the tone for what is to follow. Coming soon.

These days I wake up feeling I've had Brain Salad Surgery. The irrational world of Trump and his Minions from Hell, is now made manifest in the world. So I scribble something, nothing deep, just something to reassure me that all is not lost somehow. Family, friends, small mysteries, cats...

Amazing, we did just that! Also, 'Mr Wilder and Me', by Jonathan Coe is well worth reading if you are a fan of Billy. Of course his life story is astonishing. 'Dancing On The Edge' by Joseph McBride is an amazing read on his life and work.

The self driving version recently ran over a cat and has been banned from Desert M and the surrounding area.

Nightmare or premonition? Trump calls his pal Putin and asks, "So, what's next?"

The Band had a profound influence on me and the times we lived in then. We watched The Last Waltz. What a legacy!

TRUMP AND ALL HIS NASTY FRIENDS / WILL DRIVE US ALL AROUND THE BEND / SINGING... An eye for an eye / A tooth for a tooth / And very soon our world is blind / Devoid of light / Of love / Or truth

NEWS FROM THE POTTING SHED - Just a bunch of stuff that may or may not make it into The Garden. The Deelightful Diva, the eccentric bass car, the young dude caught in the spotlight, and another Diva offers gnarly sounds. I assume all this will connect with something.

Indeed, and of people everywhere. This is one of the reasons why the future is so frightening.

The 40th Anniversary Summer Tree Poster available Etsy. It was great to return to Fionavar after all this time, as it does not always work to dip your toe into a river of earlier creative inspiration, but still found the world of @guygavrielkay.bsky.social compelling.

So sorry to hear this Guy. I caught a glimpse of her on my last visit. Losing a dear companion of this kind brings into focus that beautiful unique emotional connection we have with these
wonderful creatures.

thegardeningclub.bandcamp.com/album/anothe.... The great thing about being in a band called The Gardening Club, depending on your experience with trowel and watering can, is the never ending use of Gardening metaphors to describe what we here in The Shed call the Human Condition or The Blues.
