In some eyes, even a simple x at the bottom of a letter can display more than the writer may have intended, the imagination of the covert and furtive looking for the signs and symbols of a life lived to excess, of the additional effort placed in clandestine response to a love undeclared.

We have an obligation to the past that in some ways could be construed as damaging, but perhaps actually helps act with a greater sense of affirmation and self-belief that in which our souls are bound; for in every action we partake in or willingly pursue with solo ambition, the reality is that someone else remembers it differently, whether by a greater exactness, or by the swirling clouds of existence we are arguably only Dressing Up The Truth of our memory.

We either fall into the category of being writers and observers who put pen to paper without a plan, through the persuasive power of the subconscious and narrative of the dreamer who wishes to bring joy and peace to the proceedings, and those who seek absolute dedication to the cause, the required belief, the no nonsense exploration of the just in terms of qualified and unadulterated…There is no in between, only the rigid and the fluid.

The skyline of Toronto as seen from the great lake has undergone such a dramatic transformation in the last few decades, so much so that even the open mind of a young traveller just 30 years ago would be stunned at the vast differences they would see on the horizon; and yet dig deeper, see beyond the glimmering towers that have sprung up and which defiantly touch the sky, and which over power the sense of the traditional and the unique, and what you discover is that Restless spirit still pulsating, still driven by the common folk who built the city and adhere to the cacophony of steel and the diversity of strength.

The human tsunami of performance, of the out and out wave that comes in individual form as they refuse to bow and bend to the 100-foot rugged and sturdy cliffs that steadfastly cling to the earth and soil of the land they protect, that is the chiselled beauty to witness when we observe a legend bounce back against the odds and offer the public the spectacle of rampant sound and destruction.

It is the accessibility of her music that makes Rose Greenwood stand out as a musician and as a person willing to bare the joy, the torment, and the belief that their soul insists rightly of sharing.
Baring the soul though comes with a large responsibility, often it requires the need, the subtle necessity to be true to yourself in such a way that the art represents more than truth, it is the whole being set alight by integrity, by an authority of spirit which is consuming and wonderful.

The psychedelic sound produced some of the most stimulating and remarkable music to have come from either side of the Atlantic in a reign of enlightenment that stretched but a few short years on initial contact, but which has inspired greatly, definably, over the decades since; and whilst memories of Grace Slick, early Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, and even the exotic poetry of Jim Morrison pervade across Time, the genre in some form has survived, even flourished…perhaps just not where you expect, and not in the manner that the Summer of Love would believe.

Whether you realise it or not, not all gigs or concerts are created equal, and whilst the sense of drama and camaraderie can be alluring, a reflection of what we feel inside as a favourite song, long perhaps unheard except in snatches of memory as it floods our senses, there are some moments which only truly hit the spot as you safeguard the front row, or are fortunate enough to be able to hear if the evening’s outpouring of satisfaction is caught just right by modern technology and transferred to a medium best suited for appreciating in your own home.

It feels strange to think that a band of such repute as Jethro Tull waited a decade before releasing a live album to the public, a sizeable and abundant crowd that had been clamouring to feel the enjoyment and sheer artistry of the live arena within their own four walls; after all other bands within the genres they straddled like kings on a noble steed had been putting out live albums as a way to garner more attention after just a couple of studio recordings, to push the agenda onwards. Not Jethro Tull though, and perhaps it could be argued that it was to their benefit that they waited until the time was right, till the fates decreed that the group were more than just any other group plying their trade, but were already the mega stars to whom could bestow the raw and the beautiful in one extraordinary home adventure.

The landscape of music without lyrics is more than a sense of hypnotic undertow designed to give the listener an ambient journey with their own thoughts, it is also a gateway for the vibe and effect to slowly enthuse the soul with a feeling of spontaneity, a crash course in the art of understanding two or more emotions coursing through the body at once, the symmetry of the simultaneous to which we hear all but understand more when not dislodged and disconnected by a voice that is not our own.
