A Plate Of Mine Brings Back Memories

I was looking around the Hospice Op Shop in Whangarei last Monday when this plate caught my eye. I recognized it immediately as one of mine. I turned it over and there on the back was my name, "D Wolland '95" scratched on the back. It was made when someone close to me died and I composed a song about him but never finished it. Some of the words are on the plate and so with mixed emotions I bought it. I had forgotten about making it and the song I wrote. I think I will record the entire song now as the melody and words have jumped out of the plate and called up the memories from the depths of my mind.

My Take On Bob Dylan

Now that there is the film on Bob Dylan in local cinemas I thought you might like to see and hear again the animation I made with a song I composed,sang and recorded. I Played a rather unusual Mandola that was made from a 12 string guitar. Watch carefully Bob's shifty eyes!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJmna8Dzauw
