Ghosts Calling,
We went to the woods this evening. One of the usual walks you know. Cosmo is a gun dog as he is part golden retriever I dont know if poodles are french gun dogs they might be? Anyway Cosmo is solid gone man….that place he goes..those places in and out the undergrowth, through the bushes, looking, investigating, checking things out, going back and and checking them again. Looking for stoats, birds, squirrels or foxes. I will never know, but he’s really focused in his searching.
Then an acorn hits the floor!
He stops dead, he’s heard it at 30 paces ears slightly raised and head movements like Tango Dancers on Strictly.
Whasat?……er ……
nothing but
……there’s…………a feckin ………..rabbit been over here and I’m leggin it after him. He dissapears…. rushes into the woodland….. and 20 seconds later he’s trotting down the path towards me.
Nah……no sign of it now.
And so it goes on. Never catches anything, never dissapointed, allways looking though.
Me, I got my head phones on Listening to my favourite track. I’ve only got about 5 tracks in there. But this one is special. Ghosts Calling. You could describe it as orchestral…its abororiginal didge, a snare drum with wishy washy sound and these clicky sticks. Fantasic in the woods. It is just totally fluid and I’m solid gone an all. The noises from the didge are the animals Cosmo is looking for and I’m flicking my fingers in time with the clicky sticks. It fits with the woods perfectly, if I made videos it would be the start of something. If you played it in Picadilly Circus it would be rubbish, it needs the woods.
Then smashing in my head at higher volume is Rock Star by Nickelback, the contrast is unbearable. And the culture shock between the life styles that relate to these two types of music is shattering me.
