"If the English language had been properly organized ... then there would be a word which meant both 'he' and 'she', and I could write, 'If John or Mary comes heesh will want to play tennis', which would save a lot of trouble." — A.A. Milne — — —

There comes a Day,
One of those glorious deep blue days,
When larks are singing and bees are humming,
And Earth gives voice in a thousand ways -
Then I, my friends, I too shall sing,

On 🌍 , I’ll vote Earth …

Halfway down the stairs
is a stair
where i sit.
there isn't any
other stair
quite like
it.
i'm not at the bottom,
i'm not at the top;
so this is the stair
where
I always
stop.

Time to officially announce a special project that we’ve been working on for well over a year!

Coming in August 2023 on Double CD and Digital Download - The Complete Songs of A. A. Milne (and Lewis Carroll) by Harold Fraser-Simson.

Seven singers, one pianist and over 70 songs… some of which are being recorded for the first time!

Beautiful songs from a bygone era for children and the young at heart.

Who doesn't love Winnie-the-Pooh, which is post #135 of my and homage on ?

Interestingly, I only became acquainted with A.A. Milne's stories as an adult when I bought Winnie-the-Pooh (Methuen 1973) for my wife after seeing Winnie-the-Pooh play in Worthing, England, in 1998. (I think we were the only "unaccompanied" adults in the theatre, and I still have the programme!)

But my wife and I read stories from this book to my son from an early age, and we visited the Pooh Corner in the Hundred Acre Wood (and played Pooh Sticks!) with him when he was five!

As for the book's first sentences — how's this for an introduction:

Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it. And then he feels that perhaps there isn't. Anyhow, here he is at the bottom, and ready to be introduced to you. Winnie-the-Pooh.

A dear friend sent me this today. My 91 year old father passed away last week--much too long a story for here, but I did see him the day before. This quote fits so well, because though we were apart due the last decade or so, we spoke occaisionally and I know he had love for me, it was just shitty circumstances. This quote adds a layer or perspective.

“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” -A.A. Milne

We had a brilliant first day of recording yesterday on a special project we have coming in August.

The official title of the album is going to be The Complete Songs of A.A. Milne (and Lewis Carroll) by Harold Fraser-Simson. An amazing collection of over 70 songs written in the early 20th Century and we’re recording all of them with a cast of seven singers and one amazing pianist.
