"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied with in seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not? why not indeed!!"

BOGDAN IS POLISH
and a fine guitarist /who loves the freedom of
improvising
He
appears Tuesdays after work at Ruta Maya /Sundays @Kick Butt
He
does different licks for different kicks-but sometimes
repeats.Repeats
This
is when we laugh.O Heraclitus!O Stephen Hawking!
Especially
when the composer of CHANTEUSE asks him to accompany her
as
she sings Beatles songs from her ipad.Recently,Paul McCartney occupied Austin
for
two nights@the Erwin Center.Blast from the past.Too many went-reliving
adolescence.
Bogdan
played those ancient John Lennon songs in deference,Louise sang
them-
bringing
smiles for the dead brought back to us via song.No living zombies!
Just
fresh laughter from old choruses sung when the world was young
and
the living still sing to the song inside us on open mike evenings round one
world
Loving
what is alive does not mean we go back-that was yesterday!
