Painting of Trees in Moonlight
Poem by Theodora Goss
I am painting the trees.
For whom am I painting the trees?

The river says, you are painting
the trees reflected in my water. (Read the entire poem here)

He liked what I’d written and started to tell me about his plans, which majored on the idea of restoring Brian Wilson to his role as the centre of the group’s creativity. Amen to that, I said.

Stewart Francis’ video – brilliant. I didn’t know of him at all.
I didn’t know of him too until stumbling across a video of his in my feed. I’m glad you you enjoyed it Bruce.
