I was fortunate enough to play in Wendy’s band in the late 70’s/early 80’s. She was a tiny person with a huge voice, her external appearance was tough and hard but internally, she was as fragile as glass. She was also a lesbian and a Hari Krishna devotee full of conflicting emotions and demons. Wendy was an enigma to me and I think to herself, even more so.

Wendy died recently and took a great big chunk of Oz Blues with her so in memory of a great singer, a gentle soul and an enigmatic friend.

Chrissy looked uncannily like my mum… which I used to find a little disturbing :laughing:

I’m in a strange mood atm - somewhat melancholic. Someone I knew (virtually) was found dead. His dog was found by his side and apparently it hadn’t moved or eaten for days.

I didn’t feel like talking to anyone so I’ve hidden away for several days now… reading… meditating… going for walks… then last night a massive storm swept over. I don’t think I’ve ever been so close to a storm as large as this; I swear it felt as though it was 30 meters/100 feet above the house. Throughout the storm there were several huge cracks then explosions that sounded like lightening hitting trees. The thunder was so loud it literally shook the house and, of course, I lost power.

Today (Sunday) has been so eerily silent. It seems the birds, reptiles and animals are still a little shell shocked. The wind is exhausted and still.

Now the evening is coming and tomorrow it’s back to ‘work’… back to yap yap yapping people… back to problems that need solving…

PSYCHEDELIC / DANCE
It’s been another perfect summer’s day: cycling in the morning, spending the afternoon on a beach with turquoise blue water (listening to Jagwar Ma and Pond), and finishing up relaxing on the deck drinking red wine and chatting with a friend as we watched the darkness swallow up the forest around us. With all of this, It’s strange to be thinking of moving again but my gut is telling me that’s what I should do but so far I have no idea where I’ll move to, or why?
