David Franks: Walkabout…

Dec 3, 2009 4:31 AM

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... 

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 

Where traditions are not so rare; 
    Sea, country and works scent the air; 
A multitude of monuments, 
    Planted tubs and patterned pavements. 

The longish pedestrian malls; 
    The remnants of defensive walls; 
Historic buildings are a gauge 
    Of the respect for heritage. 

Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; 
    Estuaries guarded by shields; 
Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; 
    Romantic-ruin go-betweens. 

Rivers in parts licked by trees, 
    Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, 
And crossed by practical delights - 
    Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. 

Fine churches headed at Durham; 
    Football kits ad infinitum; 
Kept castles - one for study; 
    Masonry behind masonry. 

And, with moulding-works out that way, 
It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

I don't remember if I ever commented on how awesome you guys played at folklife back in may.

Ryan, what a DARLING little baby, and a VERY big congratulations on the marriage in your family.

Blessings.

Hey Cali,

How you doing? Have you played Muriel's
"Connected Spirits" yet? It's so awesome. How ARE you? Enjoying marriage? My oldest got married two weeks ago. She is really happy. Had a chance to meet Seamus Egan and Mick McAuley this last Tuesday. A couple of VERY nice guys, and Seamus even went back to get Winifred's autograph for me. Have you heard her song "My Dream of You"? Natalie does cello on the song too and it's gorgeous. Miss you guys. ASC has been really busy. We landed a feature spot on National Public Radio in June. Very cool. I hope all is well! Miss you.

Hi guys! It was great to see you at Folklife and meet the newest family members. You sounded terrific as always! Oh my goodness, what a treasure y'all are! Let me know if you liked the CD! Not as rambuncious as the McKassons, but that's probably just because we're older. LOL!

Love and hugs,

Hey guys! It's Abby Hodgins.
I added "Funland" as my mypsace song. We were listening to your CD the other day and it reminded me of how awesome it is.
It was really neat seeing you guys in November when we came to visit. Especially when we ran into you at the airport. Small world!
God bless!

Great show the other night at Nevada City. Every time I hear that song "Culloden" live it gets better. Looking forward to seeing you guys again soon. Have you ever thought about putting out a live album? Your music sounds so great live. Thanks again for a great show.

Another great show! I think Haggis for the Holidays should be an annual holiday event. Great to see the guys rockin' the kilt. Happy Holiday's to you & yours.
