You've forgotten skis........
no i have not!

my old !all wooden with tar of tree! skis are in the attic of our family's cottage in the mountains
they give that cosy smell around them

at 15 years of age - just a schoolboy
i used those very same wooden skis!
i joined a ski competition for a big company in sweden
all employees with family members could register for the race
On those very skis, i finshed 4th by some 50-70 starting individuals
my time was little over 18 minutes over the distance 5000 meter

those days the "skate" skiing style was not invented - only by real skating -
which i am even better in - those swedish hockey players!
so i made my prestation with the old "classic" style
with tracks of two parallell marks in the snow

those days i trained six days a week after school
if you try to copy my time over 5 km (more than 3 miles)
you will have some real hard work before you - you've better believe me!
i gave all i've got in that race - the taste of blood in my throat
- that's the spirit -
after the goal finishing - ceremony after - i got some cheap prize
but my name was told to the peoples

the swedish mountains are all dressed in white this time of the year
mountainlandscape is at the norwegian border
on the other side is the bothnic sea
between us and one of our other neighbours finland

i live in between not so hi above the sea
see groman home page for a map

i will visit my mama
and see the snowy lilywhite tops of those hills once more
this christmas - my mama was born up there
where the air and the waters are fresh and clean

no industries polluting

Beatles:
he likes to keep his fire engine clean
it's a clean machine

Penny Lane
not Dollar Avenue
but pennie lanes

"There are whose study is of smells,
And to attentive schools rehearse,
How something mixed with something else,
....makes something worse."

As appropriate an addition to this thread as I could provide.

Not sure if Peter can explain to us the inexplicable origins of the thread. I'm sure both skinnyboy and I fell off more than a few screaming hiakus ago.

Maybe they don't put whatever halo gets in the water in Australia but then I'm sure Skinny's SA water has more than enough in it already!

Skinny, I'm Adelaidian born and bred so don't take it personal but you are currently living in one of only 2 ports in the western world where visiting ships don't take on fresh water.

A brave man once said:
"The reason for the sediment in Coopers Pale is that it's made from SA water and if you leave it sit on the shelf it comes out of suspension."

Treasures Unfold

Diana Krall I do not know, like you and planet10
But jazz I like - I have Chet Baker, Billie Holiday
I want to get Chet Baker playing "Don't Explain"
A super version!
He sings as good as play trumpet.
They All Laughed, Forgetful, Embraceable You
and Trav'lin Light.
This is the type of Music you can have on
Repeated for Hours.

Also that kind of music is Rod McKuen
- Seasons In the Sun - Joanna - If You Go Away - I'll Catch The Sun
He is a great poet!

Love's Been good to Me

I have been a rover, I have walked alone,
Hiked a-hundred highways, never found a home.
Still in all I'm happy, the reason is, you see,
Once in a-while along the way, love's been good to me.

There was a girl, in denver, before the Summer storm.
Oh her eyes were tender, oh her arms were warm.
and she could smile away thunder, kiss away the rain,
and even though she's gone away, you won't hear me complain.

There was a girl, in Portland, before the Winter chill.
We used to go a-courting, along October hill,
and she could laugh away the dark clouds, cry away the snow,
it seems like only yesterday as down the road I go.

Yes,
I have been a rover, I have walked alone,
Hiked a-hundred highways, never found a home.
Still in all I'm happy, the reason is, you see,
Once in a-while along the way, love's been good to me.

😎 Rod McKuen - welcome to a safe place to land 😎

😉 LOVE comes and goes like the seasons
😉 four by four

ROCK AND ROLL, Please!

According to what I read and publish in
"Least offensive crossover"
there is no such thing as musical notes.

Only to think of the western worlds music
there can be an A tuning from 430-444 Hz.
If we go to India or Africa or Arabia
or the naitve tribes community in the deep forrests
I am sure you find that music made by humans (often taken from nature)
uses whatever for making this thing we define as "music".

What makes music within us, seems to one component be
cultural - not inherited.
But certain kind of sounds, mainly very "primitive"
is inherited. This can be sounds that we associate to
eating/signal of pleasure or to
warning/signal of danger.

Also heartbeats is very much a primitive sound that everyone knows.
One of the first sounds we can grasp, is our mothers heart rhytm.

This is reflected in humans liking of a marked rhytm, like drums or
bass rhytms. This is very basic, you can say we are stamped with this. Like with many first experiences.
First impression you know.
Elvis, the Rock'n Roll Music and The Beatles were very
fortunately gettin some advantage of this.

Perhaps also liking into moving our body, called dance,
can get out of the fact that our mother carried us inside.
It seems to be universial.
And with her every step we were rocked by her every twostep.
Even her skeleton gave us sounds of that two beat rhytm
through the connected bones.

All this is my own thinking. I have have not read this anywhere
but it is very likely to be some truth in it.
Most of my observations indicates that.

My old Mama sure knows how to ROCK&ROLL

"Cotton Fields" Creedence Clearwater Revival

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle,
In them old cotton fields back home;

It was down in Louisiana,
Just about a mile from Texarkana,
In them old cotton fields back home.

Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton,
In them old cotton fields back home.
