On June 15, 2015 Donald Trump came down the escalator in Trump Towers. On that day he announced he would be running for president of the United States. We were confused. We were appalled. A reality show star running for president? How could this be? The mainstream media had a good laugh. I can remember the wry smiles on the faces of the pundits on MSNBC and CNN. Although Fox News had a different idea, they also were a bit confused. The mockery of Donald Trump started on that day and continued throughout the campaign.

My first listen to “Up There,” by Trevor Hall from Fruitful Darkness, by my friend, Rick Ramirez, in the living room of our mutual friend Vasu.

Rick said the experience of listening to the track was very much like a visit with Ma. Rick was correct. Since then, I have listened in quiet reverence to this track while either visualizing Ma in my mind or looking at the image featured in this header

Got to go back, Van Morrison’s first track on the No Guru, no method, no teacher release. This is a track I listen to when I am immersed in the creative process. This Van release is oft overlooked and less familiar to some. This album is as full as Astral weeks, birthed of course, from the womb of Astral. You must purchase this CD for your beach and or mountain trips from Durham. No better soundtrack than this for the pastoral drive, sorting laundry, washing dishes.

My first exposure to Mandolin Orange was an early, first year, performance of Mandolin Orange at The ENO festival river stage. It was Andrew’s deep Southern baritone that lured me to the small shade stage in a stand of trees.

This duo was different from the average blend of Eno performers that year and certainly chronologically younger than the majority.

I sat in silence, listening to this now deceased man with decades of experience in the civil rights movement and other forms of public service, who, as a lawyer, had represented disgraced lawyers like me.

It was a selfless act of kindness for which I will always be grateful.
