really? it makes me glad to hear that i did, haha...
even my woman sometimes thinks i´m crazy, because everywhere i go, i talk to the people, make compliments, and try to bring at least a little smile into their faces - it simply makes me sad, to see so many people walk around with dreary and disillusioned expressions in their faces...
a nice little trick here in the village is to make compliments about the garden - you can watch the hearts open up instantly, when you do that...

just recently i came back to other old music - i realized, that my daughter is growing up (soon 14) and doesn´t know anything about the classics of rock and pop because i don´t listen to that at all nowadays - then there was this new version of "sound of silence" by a metal band!!! she listened to it and i found the singer really impressive - i have to admit that, although i`m not a metal fan, haha... well, i looked up the original version and found the first version of simon & garfunkel accompanied only by guitar from 1965 - oh boy, it´s so tender and has got a real neat student feeling to it - we listened together and it was ooo-kay for her...
then she listened to "geil ´ne banane", a silly song from german rappers, which starts with a short sample of the "summertime blues" - ah, i looked up eddie cochran and found a live recording from 1959 (one year after my birth) - we watched that also and she liked it quite a lot, she realized how much it rocked and rolled, despite the performers being dressed in tight suits, and she liked the humor in it - then we watched the woodstock version of the who (my absolute fave band when i was her age) and she went "wow" when they really rocked off and sat there in awe! after that i rembered the flying lizards´version of 79 - oh boy, how extremely silly and wicked, but she also liked that one, haha... from there we went also to other old pop-rock stuff, of course she knows the beatles now and i´ll soon show her the stones, pink floyd a.s.o. yesssss...
everytime i have something to do with young people, i realize, what a long, long musical way i went in my life, and how extremely many comepletely diffrent musical styles i listened to and played also - wow - i´m a rich man! and still curious for new stuff like a little boy - bill drummond is my man at the moment, "imagine waking up tomorrow" must be my film, i want to see it!!!

then i heard that gilli smyth, also known as "shakti yoni" from gong had died (one of my absolute fave bands during the 70s) - i went to gong on youtube and found "camembert électrique" from 71 - and learned, that daevid allen had died a year before - i downloaded that whole album and let it run on my car stereo when we were underway together - she sat in the backseat and i watched her a little in the mirror - her first comment: papa, can you turn a little louder? then i saw, that she smiled at "the right" moments, you know what i mean? it is really wicked, wild and crazy music and she liked it - i love her for that, she´s open for strange things, but she also knows, when she doesn´t like something...
what astonished me was, how fresh that record still sounded to me, and that i still knew almost every bloody note of it, haha...
and now i rediscovered "white noise - an electric storm" - a mega special record from 1969 - that´s the reason why i couldn´t find it before, because it starts with the year in the title...

when you read the comments, you can read mine as "friesiaman s"...  

ah, it´s a pity i don´t have your e-mail adress, i so would like to send you some music of mine - i just started a new phase, in which i come back to the german 70s spacy electronic music, combining it with my normal stuff, i like it... feel free to note me, if you´re interested...

dear janice, i just saw, that there is a link to live music of you on your profile, i´ll check that... i´m a member of an eight guy live-session-band "universal sound project" - we just released our third album - there is a short feature about us, it´s in german, but there you can see me, and also take a glimpse into a session...

since about two or three years i´m very much into playing and recording music, and so i´m not too much on dA anymore - but every now and then i drop by again... many of my old dA friends have left completely or have just left their accounts alone - a bit sad sometimes...
hey, i just realize, that your short reply was the most refreshing i read here since a long time, haha...

take a again and all best wishes  from me..........
diet (please pronounce "deet" in english)

I have not read it all but I think I love you a bit as I only come on here when I am needy.Your words are very kind and understanding. I think my paternal grandmother was a german jew. 14 year old is so beautiful and amazing like her Dad. My youngest is 22(my baby) and just passed with merit grade 8 classical piano.I play "sound of silence" on the recorder and scarborough fair really good. Our kids are amazing! We can learn a lot from them. My email is very silly and I do not check it often ( more than da)
assasinmum@aol.com. I love music and I give you a big cuddle

Ich habe es noch nicht gelesen Ich habe es noch nicht gelesen Ich denke, es ist eine gute Sache, ein guter Mann zu sein. Mein jüngstes ist 22 (mein Baby) und ist gerade mit Verdienstklasse 8 klassisches Klavier passiert. Ich spiele "Klang der Stille" auf dem Recorder und Scarborough Fair wirklich gut. Unsere Kinder sind unglaublich! Wir können viel von ihnen lernen. Meine E-Mail ist sehr dumm und ich überprüfe es nicht oft (mehr als dort)
Assasinmum@aol.com. Ich liebe Musik und ich gebe dir ein großes Kuscheln: Umarmung

GONG!! !!!!

oh boy, did i write much again, please forgive me - i tend to get quite wordy at times...
...und dann die antwort auf deutsch, wie schön!!! (btw. a recorder is "blockflöte" in german) ich spiele ein ganz bisschen flöte und okarina - es reicht, um damit meine musik hier und da zu verzieren...
ich kenne auch scarborough fair, ein sehr schönes lied...
i play just a little recorder and ocarina (i have a little ocarina collection, one of my fave ones i got through deviant art, a self built wooden one made by an american student, who sent it to me) - my skills in playing them is just enough to put some extras here and there into my other musical recordings...
i have played piano very much for many years, but i´m self taught and my skills are not the best - but it´s enough to entertain a handful of people for quite a while (if they´re not too sophisticated) - i´ll soon send you a recording of one of my piano songs...
if you want a good smile again, i invite you to take a glance into my "old time" folders in my gallery - there are several collections of silly old stuff of mine, drawings, collages, photos...

...und kuscheln und umarmungen sind bei mir immer willkommen...

Hello Holly! Pleased to meet you! I cannot do a critique as I am not premium but I can give you my opinion for what its worth!
I agree with Gra about the reflections( mountains-just a bit of grey wash)and to continue the sunset to the bottom of the pic.
I think you should define the tree near the house more as the form is detailed and beautiful.Maybe a bit of grey wash to the left of the mountains? Dont change it too much!

Thank you so much for an honest opinion! I have a hard time convincing family and friends that that is what I need and want! And I don't necessarily need critiques, just honest opinions on what people might see that I don't! And Thanks again for taking the time!

Good luck for the competition! The trouble with digital is that it is too perfect and emotionless. I did try to nit pick for ya!

Technically, they are not putting it up against the digital works. I made a bit of a fuss about traditional not being included, said that I could use Photoshop to brighten or enhance if I wanted (which I haven't!!!!), They said they would open a new category for traditional. I have been asking other participants to judge it against the other entries as if it were digital. I know! I am asking a lot! We'll see what happens!
