Hand Baggage

A straitjacket is a garment shaped like a jacket with long sleeves that surpass the tips of the wearer's fingers. Its most typical use is restraining people who may cause harm to themselves or others. Once the wearer slides their arms into the sleeves, the person restraining the wearer crosses the sleeves against the chest and ties the ends of the sleeves to the back of the jacket, ensuring the arms are close to the chest with as little movement as possible.

I photographed this beautiful plant whilst cycling in the hills between Casares and Manilva  in Andalusia. The plant is a Pine Thistle-beautiful but toxic.

Flowers From The Parched Earth (for String Quintet)

"Four Strong Winds" is a song written by Ian Tyson and recorded by Canadian folk duo Ian and Sylvia. Tyson has noted that he composed the song in about 20 minutes in his then manager Albert Grossman's New York apartment in 1962. A significant composition of the early 1960s folk revival, the song is a melancholy reflection on a failing romantic relationship. The singer expresses a desire for a possible reunion in a new place in the future ("You could meet me if I sent you down the fare") but acknowledges the likelihood that the relationship is over ("But our good times are all gone/And I'm bound for moving on ...").
The song has a clear Canadian context and subtext, including an explicit mention of the province Alberta as well as references to long, cold winters. In 2005, CBC Radio One listeners chose this song as the greatest Canadian song of all time on the program 50 Tracks: The Canadian Version. It is considered the unofficial anthem of Alberta.
Ian Tyson would recall "Four Strong Winds" as the first song he ever wrote and credits Bob Dylan with giving new impetus to Ian & Sylvia's career by inspiring the duo to follow his lead in writing "original folk songs":(Ian Tyson quote:)"We had to go in some direction, because we had used up all the real roots music from the Delta on north. Bob blazed the trail into the wilderness, into unknown territory." Specifically Tyson would recall meeting up with Dylan in the autumn of 1962 at the Greenwich Village bar Kettle of Fish:(Ian Tyson quote:)"this kind of little grubby kid in there"...said: 'I got this new song': it was Bobby Dylan - he sang me 'Blowin' in the Wind', he'd just wrote it. And I thought: I can do that"...He wrote 'Blowin' in the Wind' and the next day I wrote 'Four Strong Winds'."     Wikipedia

- FIGHT FOR THE THRILLS -

-Verse 1-
I play the guitar
You drive your fast car
One, two, three
Lucky, cheery

Skydiving for him
Never ment as a whim
One, two, three
Deep ecstasy

-Pré.Chorus- 
	Eyes closed to the fears
	Blood, sweat and some tears
	We don't play it safe
We keep on pushing the risk
All the life is so brisk
	Eyes closed to the fears
	Blood, sweat and some tears
	With passion we live
Keep your soul alive!
Go for it and revive!

-Chorus-
We're gonna fight	
	Fight for some freedom
	Looking for the chills
	Passion, desire
	The heart on fire

We're gonna fight
	Fight for some freedom
	In search of the thrills
	We run on the divine
	Adrenalin

We're gonna fight
	Fight for some freedom
	Looking for the chills
	Passion, desire
	The heart on fire

We're gonna fight
 	Fight for some freedom
	In search of the thrills
	Under the spell
       	Of heaven and hell

-Verse 2-
Stagefright in the night
Speed driving, all right
One, two, three
Need to be free	

Kissing golden age
On the razor edge
One, two, three
Living, fizzy

HOLY SMOKES! BY CGMANESS + MrDjBigHouse (LSMIX)

I was born in Leicester in the late 1950's. Since semi-retirement and subsequent retirement (as a Dermatologist and formerly G.P) I have spent some of my spare time trying to learn music theory. I also enjoy long distance running as well as cycling, skiing and tennis. I enjoy cooking, gardening and growing a few vegetables. And fine wine (in moderation). And(low tech) insect photography.
To my regret I never learnt a musical instrument when younger but I have listened to and been fascinated by music for as long as I can remember. The advent of the computer age has allowed me to pursue my desire to compose music. I use Logic Pro X software (and MuseScore3 for recent piano compositions). My compositions reflect my varied listening preferences (including Contemporary Classical, Jazz and  Music from other cultures around the world).
