My husband surprised me by buying tickets to see Vashti Bunyan (keep this hum in the background as you read) in Leeds last night. She is an extremely talented lady we found out about through our friend and Black and White Photographer Toby Deveson . The act before we missed the name of, but they were quite good. I'll find out who they were asap. But when the Lady came to sing, we started a dream into her consciousness and her memories, and it hasn't left me still. At first I was struck by a certain amount of sadness. I saw all the beauty and the impetus of her youth, all her dreams, and saw that many of them hadn't come true. It was already too late I had related too much to her by then, so tears started welling up in my eyes to accompany the beautiful music. I couldn't help noticing the awe of her accompanying guitarist (a Glasgow boy), the respect of her accompanying violinist, from London, and the youthful enthusiasm of her other Glaswegian, who played a different instrument at every song. And yet. I felt with complete surety we could have been friends. Had I had my Place, I would have invited her and she would have come and she'd had stayed for a week or two, having tea and getting up to see the dawn in a poncho and we would have chats and interact with people and finally we would have a small musical session, with just a few of us from the house, and then perhaps a larger one. At the end we realised that yes, many of her dreams didn't come true, and as she said, "I used to think things could be so simple... now I know it's not quite like that", BUT now she was on the road again , and happy for this. I realised how lucky I was to be nearing my forties and happily married, and at the same time I haven't given up any dreams, in They Simply Evolved fact, matured, Became more tangible, and now They Can Be Called Plans. It does not matter That I Would Have Had more energy to do what I wanted When I was 26. What matters now Is that I have the wisdom and the determination I was nowhere near HAVING back then. It will happen, It Has Already Begun, And When it evolves Further, you will all be invited. | My husband wanted to surprise me by taking tickets Vashti Bunyan (keep this music in the background while you read) in Leeds last night, a lady of great talent that we met with our friend and Photographer in Black and White Toby Deveson .
