hello dears....


day 5 of the 12 days of AFP-NESS is comin at you.


i had another video post ready for today but need to say more about it...in a longer blog, so i'm shifting things around and giving you....

.....A LITTLE BRECHT.


honestly how can you go wrong with a lost recording of a brecht cover at a teeny theater in NYC? this was taped during the evelyn evelyn tour.


i've been a kurt weill and brecht fan since i was 15, when my dear stepfather john gave me a dagmar krause collection of kurt weill music.


this is one of my favorite brecht/weill songs of all time, from the threepenny opera, and i merged a few translations from the german (which i also know and sing when i play this sucker live in germany) and changed a couple of the lines to suit me better.


someday i have to do the german collection recording...if you're in berlin, i'm serious.


i'm having a small existential crisis at the moment about the state of the world and my place in it and i think spending time not making art is harder than i thought.


how are you?


love

AFP

i know a lot about grief. My father died when I was just thirteen and he was the only person in my life who I felt understood me. And I have grieved for my children who, although still alive, I have little contact with my son born in 1969 and living now in Melbourne.. Or with my younger daughter by my second marriage, who is a doctor and was last heard of living less than fifty miles away in my home town of Taunton, Somerset. In some ways it's easier to deal with death more easily than it is by loss through separation especially if accompanied by alienation. It all started when I was taken by the police to the mental hospital very close to the home where I and my family had lived for a few years... But perhaps that long story is for another time. But just in case you or any of your other patrons were thinking of going mad - which is the natural response to living in this mad world - remember the words of Harvard-educated Peter Breggin, the only really decent psychiatrist I know of: "Visiting a psychiatrist is one of the most dangerous things a person can do." Loving kindness is what people need. Not brain-damaging drugs

Thank you Amanda for the AFP-NESS , it's helping me a lot to continue to work as an artist, dealing with my depression and my own personal crises . I think that you're still making art, just by talking to us, sharing your thoughts with us. With any doubt you are really important in our lives, by your music, by your book, by showing a part of your mind / yourself. Take the f*cking donuts, you deserve it, take care of you!

Ooh, I liked that! I thought you were going to do a little theatre (English woman here!) for us to begin with! I'm okay, although getting anxious about how much there is to fit in before I'm allowed to take a break over Christmas. It's weird how we're never happy. When we're working we want to stop, but when we're not, we're aching to get back to work again.

Yesterday was a bad day for me, but it got better. There was a shooting at the mall I worked at and I have never felt so much fear in myself and in other, I hid in the cash office for what seemed like forever. Luckily only one person was hurt, he got shot in the leg and it was a personal thing, which relieved Me a lot but while it was happening, I was terrified. I hope none of you experience that.

I'm having a hard time getting into working on my book lately. I know what I need to do, but it's HAAAAARD. Maybe next week when I have some time off. <3 to you AFP

ironically (or not, if you've lived some time in germany) this is blocked by the evil GEMA... as was your rooftop bit. otherwise, i'm surprisingly happy. better than i usually am this time of year -- or, really, should be, given the many things that are happening around me: some terrible, some just discomforting, none, actually, *to me*. guilt. but i think this series of posts helps. thanks.
