D.D Dumbo is the solo project of Oliver Hugh Perry. This is one of my favourite genres.

I did a 2-year course in audio engineering back in the day and every month we had to bring in a musician or band to record in a professional studio. I used to get criticized all the time for bringing in quirky, experimental musicians to record. Most of the other students brought in bands who thought they were the next AC/DC… #-o We just got one of the first monster 24-track desks in the country and they wanted to record AC/DC clone bands on it. I used to ask my recording buddies what we were going to do with the remaining 23 tracks. :laughing: I would have loved to have someone like D.D Dumbo to record.

[tab]This is an excerpt from an interview with David Le’aupepe, the singer/writer.

“…[“Persevere” is about] my best buddy’s baby who just died, this beautiful, innocent fucking baby. And he’s saying, ‘God isn’t a vindictive mother fucker, contrary to what you may believe. Contrary to what the world believes.’ This is a deeply, faithful, intelligent, Christian man with wisdom beyond any of mine.

In my opinion back then, he was cutting God too much slack. But he had this completely different set of core values in relation to God. Part of that was so inspiring and also infuriating to me. I sort of felt dwarfed in the shadow of this guy’s wisdom and grace and belief and faith. I was almost envious that he could manifest that, even in light of the death of his child…”

The guy he’s speaking about played piano on Persevere.[/tab]

If you walk a couple of hundred metres/yards to the right of the vid image and roll down the small steep cliff, you’ll end up in Chakras old backyard. I’ve moved further into the valley but still take regular constitutionals along the winding path above my old place. Oh, and that’s Django in the vid. He and I share a deep-seated hatred of brush turkeys.

John Farnham was a 60’s teen pop idol but best known for his 80’s anthems. The first and last tracks (You’re the Voice and Age of Reason) were often sung by 40-80,000 people during sports events and political gatherings for years and used to send shivers down my spine. The power of large groups of people concentrated on one thing is mind-blowing – which is why they keep us divided. I’ll stop there before I explode into a political rant so…. back to the musak. For derleydoo who said he liked John Farnham. I prefer the organic energy of live recordings but some people prefer the clarity of studio recordings so I’ve included both.

Yeah, well I’m not a big John Farnham fan so it took me that long to come around. I still feel a little ashamed knowing I posted that. I mean, what next? Air Supply? Anyway, glad you liked it. :smiley:

The voice sample in the track above is from an Alan Watts talk. The middle part is what they used in the song but I’ve added a bit more to put it in context.
[tab]…"Everything is standing right out in the open, it’s just a question of how you look at it. So you do discover when you realize this, the most extraordinary thing that I never cease to be flabbergasted at whenever it happens to me. Some people will use symbolism of the relationship of God to the universe, wherein God is a brilliant light, only somehow veiled, hiding underneath all these forms as you look around you. So far so good. But the truth is funnier than that.

It is that you are looking right at the brilliant light now, that the experience you are having that you call ordinary everyday consciousness–pretending you’re not it–that experience is exactly the same thing as “IT”. There’s no difference at all. And when you find that out, you laugh yourself silly. That’s the great discovery.

In other words, when you really start to see things, and you look at an old paper cup, and you go into the nature of what it is to see what vision is, or what smell is, or what touch is, you realize that that vision of the paper cup is the brilliant light of the cosmos. Nothing could be brighter. Ten thousand suns couldn’t be brighter. Only they’re hidden in the sense that all the points of the infinite light are so tiny when you see them in the cup they don’t blow your eyes out. See, the source of all light is in the eye. If there were no eyes in this world, the sun would not be light. So if I hit as hard as I can on a drum which has no skin, it makes no noise. So if a sun shines on a world with no eyes, it’s like a hand beating on a skinless drum. No light. YOU evoke light out of the universe, in the same way you, by nature of having a soft skin, evoke hardness out of wood. Wood is only hard in relation to a soft skin. It’s your eardrum that evokes noise out of the air. You, by being this organism, call into being this whole universe of light and color and hardness and heaviness and everything." ~Alan Watts…[/tab]

POPULAR SONG MIX

And now for something a little different… Pub Choir started in Brisbane a couple of years ago by a school music teacher who thought adults could benefit from her classes. They started off in small pubs but soon expanded to larger drinking venues as it became more popular. Her aim is to spend no more than 90 minutes arranging songs in three-part harmony and teaching people how to sing the parts.

Pub Choir has recently expanded to do tours overseas and because of the coronavirus lockdown, they’ve now doing world-wide, online, sing-alongs under the Couch Choir name (last track below).
