So here it is! The beginning of my new project…
Meet Duncan. A dedicated bluesman living on the streets of Melbourne. He busks for money but also relies on the generosity of passersby.
He teaches guitar… on the street, in the open amid the flood of Chapel St revellers.
I caught up with him yesterday while he was giving a lesson to a newcomer, he claimed that, if a person can learn in front of strangers, they are capable of pretty much anything!
The linked song Algae, is something that I wrote in 2001! It’s about how we have derived from very little yet we’re capably of so much… good and alas bad.
It was such a spinout to hear this song played with such skill and maturity.
