music in the shed

Ok someone recommended a book on one of the forum threads and for the life of me I can find the post, I’m so sorry I feel very rude so can someone help me out.. The book recommended is apparently great and as it happens I ordered it last week from Amazon. Thanks again for the recommendation and for offering to pass your copy on, its greatly appreciate 🙏

Blimey. You're reading a lot into a piece of hydraulic machinery, but I presume some kind of emotional response is what the artist was looking for.

Call me a philistine if you like. I'm a mechanical engineer so I see it as simply a leaky machine, nothing to get emotional about. Maybe I'm broken.
Esoterics is where the real and imagined converge and diverge, young Cam.... Cam the Philistine, cannot support that at all, for a moment you can be, for another moment you are something else, myself, enjoy a good old fashioned pontification... have the inclination that the lament of a machine seeks to lord it over the bystander, the interested and the willing....or the vexed to round out a diverging audience. Nadia has the perspective that few males can align, it would seem... then i do find deep perspective in Jeffery Smart artworks, then "industrial" has perspective not for the many...j

As it aged the Mirage became a very leaky machine and I began to get very emotional about it , as in " I suppose I`m going to have to remove the damned head again , bloody guides "...
Seriously though , a piece of machinery programmed to elicit a human response by displaying traits we can empathize with could be considered a valid work of art....whereas a computer programmed to ask a human being if he is a robot or not every time he wishes to make a financial transaction could be considered as just annoying...

As for music , I`m currently gravitating to ( amongst others ) Lynyrd Skynyrd " Free Bird - the Oakland Coliseum Stadium version ", as much for the crowd reaction than anything else....and Siouxsie and the Banshees " Kiss them for me " - the name of one of Jayne Mansfield`s movies , Jayne being famously killed in a car crash on her way to make a public appearance in New Orleans , the song being a reference to that.......( "Kiss them for me , if I find myself delayed " ).....another piece of art designed to elicit an emotional response...

Had to Google Jeffery Smart and enjoyed what I saw. Thanks 🙏

Lynyrd Skynard - now if those guys aren’t a tragedy
 
Old, we are not old, we are old...or is that "We are Devo", bit partial to Rare Earth "Get Ready" one of the few song am able to remember how to play, the groove is all. Yanked onto the stage yesterday, 30 second band..ie band assembled 30 seconds prior to performance, similar to setting up a weaving Laverda for a 130kph sweeper.... "Copperhead Road" ton of fun, was playing mandolin, the big staccato part of the song, breaks a string ( wacks me in the face ) on my mando...commit as in Laverda riding, keep playing, punters love live action.

Of art Nadia, moments in a life, Arthur Boyd painting "The Mockers" at NSW art gallery, viewing paintings in the physical has no comparison to photographs, less than a foot away from you, has an effect ilicited, difficult to describe. Another time i was gazing at a large modern artwork, noticed a real dead fly in the picture, partner and myself pointing out the anomaly, soon had a gathering of souls wondering the new meaning to this painting.... quite a large mob in the end as partner and self moved to the rear and observed true human nature. Another is yawning in a doctors waiting room, the fission type reaction in the room is well diverting, soon have a room of perpetual yawning.... beats being bored to my mind.... perhaps the others may not be so possessed, why are my patients all yawning, doctors conundrum.... j.
