Yew and the Battlefield...

Hail and Greetings, kindred.

I've not spoken much here about the last third of the blog's sub-title. And won't, likely.

It's a longing. She is a longing. She's there-- wherever the hell there be...

And if she don't ken the Battlefield Band.. well, folks, she really ain't all that 'there', is she?


Hale and Farewell on this Full Moon night, people. And if any of ye see Yew Berry... tell 'er Cyg forever waits; like Oengus o' the Dream, he continually searches...

Ohmuhgoodness, I wish I'd seen this before I went to bed last night...I bet I would have had better dreams than the oddities that plagued the few hours of sleep I got.

You ever get insomnia? Stupid misfiring neurons...

Kyddryn,

I would have SWORN this band had like a gogol of members; I'd never "seen" them until last night... I'd heard... and the sound is SOO RICH...

Would that I could just LOOK at a fiddle and get that many (mental, 'cause I'm only gawking...) notes outa the thing...

Insomnia and odd dreams, ay? Seems prevalent the last few days... I NEVER wake before the gods-haven't-turned-the-air-on hour of 0545 hrs whence my alarm is set... but the last two morns, yes. WITH Bizarre dreams to boot around...

Let's just chalk it up th the TRUE onset of summer, and see if that don't tame it for a bit...

So, where can I hear YOUR music, o has-such-a-way-with-words One?!? C'mon, now; don't hold back... :D

Thanks for the visit, lady! And I hope the sleep gets better soon...

'O' {on cheeks} 'O'

I go through phases, sometimes sleep, sometimes no. Life goes on.

SpiralRhythm.net, or search iTunes for Spiral Rhythm...or you could look us up on YouTube, only it's not US there, it's people either doing our songs or who've uploaded our recordings, or...something.

I'm the alto.

I wish I could play fiddle...wild, gypsy fiddle, skirling along, making people's toes tap...

Shade and Sweetwater,
K
