Good Morning and Some Blues

I must have slept very well last night as whilst i was watching a DVD on Jack Kerouac i fell asleep around ten minutes into the documentary.

The weather is fluctuating between sunshine and showers, so after having brekkie in the pub i will be listening to some of the CD's i purchased recently.

I also picked up a couple of blues compilations for fifty pence each from a thrift store in Gillingham. One by Howlin' Wolf and one by Joe Jones.

The Howlin'Wolf CD i use to have many many years ago. It came out in 1988 , but the 1994 Best of Joe Jones is a new one to me,and so far, the tracks i have played are very good.

The album is actually called "You Talk Too Much". here is the title track.

Joe Jones - You talk too much

And a well know tune by the Wolf -

Howlin' Wolf - Smokestack Lightning

Bye for now.

Charming Alyssa

Okay i love to dream and fantasise .. but she is very beautiful and elegant. Miss Milano you are so Cahrmed...

Book 31 - Ted Hughes "Poetry In The Making"

Ted Hughes "Poetry In The Making" (Faber and Faber)






This is a student friendly discussion of what Ted Hughes calls "imaginative writings" and are drawn from The BBC program"Listening and Writing". He selects various writings from contemporary modern poets to illustrate his essays and thesis,and in particular - Larkin, Dickenson, Eliot,Plath and himself, to convey a sense that poetry can be made by beginners and how to go about it. As a primer on how to write poetry and improve the creative process, this short book of 128 pages is ideal. It is also an effective introduction to his work and that of other poets who have influenced him.
