Musaa ja Sandmonkey

I continued working with my music. One more song is taking its shape. Edith Sodergran wrote the poem Salojarvi (= Lake in Forest) almost a hundred years ago. And for my part - keyboards, recorders and domra are done...

Great Egyptian blogger Sandmonkey announced today that he'll quit. It's too dangerous for him to blog in a country where there's no real freedom of speech, no real democracy... I've read his texts quite regularly for a couple of years. He's been a delight with his humour and brave seriousness. Actually since last autumn I've wondered how long he can continue to write freely. During the winter bloggers have had quite dire times in Egypt and now it seems to be getting worse... Sad, sad. But as the great late author Kurt Vonnegut said: "That's the way it goes."
