Oh Avril so much food for thought and inspiration in this post! I am very envious of you seeing Loudon Wainwright and I love your line ‘cracked open my heart with your song’ I can feel that so vividly! ( hope I remembered the line correctly) 🙏

Thanks so much Diggy. I wasn't expecting to see him. He was a guest performer who stole the show - well, in my book anyway. It's interesting you say you can feel part of the poem as I had several messages saying something similar. I don't know why it's the case but I'm really happy to know that the poem works on a visceral level.

So glad you hear him, Warren. He certainly had a strong message to convey. I think one we all feel right now. I think you're right about everything we do as creative people being for the now. It has to be, if it's going to be truthful.
