R.I.P “Brown Dog”

‘R.I.P “Brown Dog” ‘

Pictured, a cross on a tree, beside a country road I walked along in the Hokianga this week.

Who, or what, “Brown Dog” was, I do not know.

But he, she, or it is remembered, and missed.

The identity of the one who is gone has been bugging me.

In posting this, I may not be rid of the uncertainty, but I may just get some peace…

‘Green Guitar’ – R.I.P Peter Green, 1946 – 2020.

Peter Green, an original member of Fleetwood Mac and legendary blues/rock guitarist, passed away yesterday.

He was an understated stylist possessed of one of the purest, most emotive guitar timbres in the business ,even if he led a life at times troubled by mental illness.

B.B King said of his playing, “he has the sweetest tone I ever heard. He was the only one who gave me the cold sweats.”

YouTube link to one of his best loved tracks, appropriate in remembrance, ‘In The Skies’ is below:
