Tea from the land of a thousand hills
‘An exhibition of photographs from Rwanda by Tim Smith at the Mercer Art Gallery, Harrogate, 25 September to 16 January 2011. Rwanda is a beautiful, lush and mountainous country whose rich volcanic soils produce some of the world’s best tea. And it is tea that links seemingly remote communities living high in the heart of central Africa with North Yorkshire, the home of one of the most quintessential of British brands – Yorkshire Tea. This also means that Sam Mangwana, the Rail Band, Franco et al are now wafting through the rarified air of Harrogate’s art gallery.’

It Goes Back
It goes back
It goes back
To the completely senseless babble
Of the Three Stooges
It goes back
To the ravings of the Marx Brothers
To Laurel and Hardy
In the Foreign Legion
To the old holy Arab
Warning the hotbloods
That Ramadan is near
It goes back
To the Werewolf of London
A distinguished doctor in his velour smoking jacket
Smoking his pipe over a lamplit tome on botany
Suddenly hairs begin to grow on his hands
His cat hisses and slips out into the night
It goes back
To Lamont Cranston
So cool so sure
Suddenly becoming the frantic Shadow
Going mwee ha ha ha
In the alleys of New York
It goes back to Cap’n Easy and Wash Tubbs
Screaming with ecstasy over a can of cream peaches
It goes back to Wimpy looking cross-eyed for a juicy hamburger
Like they don’t make any more
It goes back to King Kong
With huge tender eyes for Fay Wray
To dear old Basil Rathbone
It goes back to the glee of America
To the honesty of America
To the honesty of oldtime grafters
Straw hats
To the funny spitelessness of old big-fisted America
Like big Boy Williams saying “Hoo? Hee? Huh?” in a movie about
Mack Trucks
It goes back to Clark Gable
His certain smile
His confident leer
This America
Was invested with wild self believing
Individuality
And all this had begun to disappear around the end of World War II
So many great guys were dead
When suddenly
It began to emerge again
The hipsters began to appear
Gliding around
Saying “Crazy, man…”
Lyrics excerpted from this article by Jack Kerouac http://home.earthlink.net/~copaceticcomicsco/Kerouac.html

Yellow Brick Road
Around the corner the wind blew back, follow the yellow brick road
It ended up in black on black
I was taught the gift of love
Smiling children painted joy sunshine bright girl and boy
bag of tricks and candy sticks, peppermint kite for my toy
Yellow brick black on black
Keep on walking and don’t look back
I walked along happy and them came back
I follow the yellow brick road
Lost and found I saw you down, on the bound, off the bound
Taught against the love, yellow brick road took my load
Sunshine girl sunshine girl come to my abode 1-2-3-4-5 miles long
Oh I can’t ever go wrong
Clouds were gray yesterday, down on my shoulder it’s time to play
Yellow brick black on black
Keep on walking and don’t look back
