Cloud Herder (Won't you spin us one last story?)

Send us Fan MailAlong the towpath, the battle between winter and spring has begun with days of warmth and days of sleet. Although even the young ducks teach us a lesson in conflict avoidance. Join us tonight as we celebrate the lives of two people who were central to the creation of Nighttime on Still Waters.      Journal entry:12th March, Wednesday.“The day winds down.A last walk along the canal side.Pebbled rings form in the open water.A kick of sleetDrives against my face.Captivated by the golden sunShining through rain mist.Such unimagined golds.Behind meA pale rainbowBows and fades to such majesty.” Episode Information:This episode is dedicated to the memory to two people without whom this podcast would not have been created: Michael Goode and Clifford DeHaven. Among many things, Clifford was a great musician. One of his musical incarnations was as 'Mournful Hornet' which seemed to capture his offbeat character and heart. You can hear him on SoundCloud. I also read the words of Meg Kara (Poetic Meg). With special thanks to our lock-wheelersfor supporting this podcast.Gabriela Maria Rodriguez-VeinotteKevin B.Fleur and David McloughlinLois RaphaelTania YorgeyAndrea HansenChris HindsDavid DiromChris and Alan on NB Land of Green Ginger Captain Arlo Rebecca Russell Allison on the narrowboat Mukka Derek and Pauline Watts Anna V.
