Pinboard #17 (Friday 19th April 2024)

Thursday was spent continuing work on Tuesday's pictures and findings plus re-arranging the porch in anticipation of a new tumble-dryer being delivered. I also revised one of the pinboards that hangs up in the kitchen and when I knew the delivery would be later in the afternoon I was able to walk into Calne for a quick shop.
The old Creda tumble-dryer had sat on top of the washing machine, which was apparently prohibited for the new model. It had lasted from July 1986 until the catch for the door assembly perished this month. I wonder if its replacement (visible in the bottom-left background) will last as long?
The pictures on the pinboard have largely been extracted from music magazines such as Mojo. Clockwise they are Siouxsie Sioux, Elvis (a still from Jailhouse Rock, I would imagine), Joni Mitchell, The Ronettes (just a name on a record label until they had a profound effect on 13-year old me when I saw them miming to Baby I Love You on the Birmingham-based programme Thank Your Lucky Stars in January 1964), Ruth Wilson (seen here while playing her real-life mother Mrs Wilson in 2018, from Radio Times) and Don Van Vliet (aka Captain Beefheart).

Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Sam Lee - Green Mossy Banks (2024)
Since the timetable changes of BBC Radio 3 and Radio 4, Late Junction is at a less convenient time for me, but I did manage to hear all of Friday's show which included this thoughtful piece of music, chosen by Verity Sharp.
When the commission to write songs for the feature film The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry came through, many songs flowed, some making the film and others not. Green Mossy Banks was written distinctly in response to that stunning tale and the oldest practice of all when facing life's deep questions to make pilgrimage. The story inspired me to reflect on how walking will forever be the greatest form of self-discovery and answer-finding. Despite this song not eventually making it into the film it remains for me a proclamation song that sits within this album's suite of stories musing upon how the land offers many remedies to our sorrows and ills. Walking is the tonic that heals the heart in the most profound of ways. This song was written out of the many miles made on pilgrimage myself when I’ve partaken in the most intimate and ancestral gesture I know to restore and reinvigorate one's never-ending search for be-lief and re-lief. As remedies go, intentional walking of the land is the one that works deepest and holds in the body's memory the longest. - Sam Lee (2024)
