I’m like an Ent

You know the trees in the Lord of the Rings? The old ones who talk really slowly and say

“We ents never say anything that doesn’t take a long time saying. And we never say anything if it’s not worth taking a long time saying.”

That, ladies and gentlemen, is me. I’ve thought of these microblogs, Twitter and whatever they’re called, I could never do that. Instead I readily await the day the maxiblog arrives; where no post can ever be less than a 1000 words. When I write, what limits my writing is not that I run out of things to say, or various ways of putting it. My attempts to limit the amount I write is based on my concern for my readers. I simply prefer if they didn’t grew old and died, whilst waiting for me to finish my sentence.

But I stick by my ent-like approach: It’s better to say something that is close to your heart and feels important - even if it is in a roundabout way - rather than to say nothing at all, only because you can’t keep it short and retain the hip blogfactor your message ought to have. Man, that sounded like something that came out of a very old person. An ent maybe?

    Sometimes I feel like an ent too. Sometimes I just feel old.
    And sometimes I think of old friends.
    I hope you are doing well, even though the music biz is not treating us (music making people) all that well these days.
    We will meet again one day.

    All the best,
    Martin Bauri

    HI

    Don’t have your email address, and i wanna know…

    1. how much would it cost to get you to come to South Africa
    2. would you be keen on a mini tour of venues here, introducing yourself to the market here and even releasing “Find the form” here

    FYI, South Africa is a huge consumer of house music and we know some of the stuff you’ve done but we know it as songs by the DJ that licenses them for their compilations…basically we know the music but not the musician.

    please get back at me

    regards

    I like the content, but that your articles have so many spaces should be modified I think, and epically the end.
