The Show Must Go On

I had an absolutely wonderful Christmas present this year from George and Monica at Giant Squid Eye Productions. I really don't know what I 've done to deserve it or any of the other wonderful things that keep happening - but thankyou....
just check it out

listen nell, Jed IS a goat, but i think it may all be metaphorical. actually Jed gave me a llama for Christmas - but I'm not allowed to visit it

Brian IS an alien - but where IS he? haven't seen him in age...hhmmm

Jed's llama was on of those virtual ones - I just got a pice of paper and a photo on the refridgerator

That is pretty damned brilliant. And Nell is right, it's the music that makes these things happen. Thanks (again) for the Valentine E.P., hope you received the cheque alright...

Anyway, the video is brilliant, I now have it nestled safe and sound in the warm and welcoming music folders of my hard drive. I also intensely enjoyed your Christmas speech... but is there more to come for Radio Clerkenwell? I am trying my hand at just such a venture (internet radio broadcasting) myself, and it would be a terrible loss if there were nothing to inspire me... anyway, thanks for the festive sonic salutations.

Keep it up, ad infinitum, because eternity would be dull without The Weld,

Hello there, that was a lovely accompaniment to my coffee this morning. Speaking of coffee, my wife was musing about how nice it would be to have one with you. She's a musician herself, and admires your work. She's got a little combo, the Puppini Sisters. Are you in London?

Hey Nell. Thankyou for reminding me of that!

Here's to Al - all blitzed out...and long before Syd Barret, and Robert Calvert

listening for the first time i'm bathed in nostalgia. memories of a not-so misspent youth - of discovery,excitment,love and friendship shared.
a mystery now revealed. it's strangely comforting,reassuring, to know that you and glen are continuing to soul-search conjunctively, inspiring one another. it takes courage to fulfill your dreams.

as for the llama magnet, jed always was the socially sensitive one....long may he continue to be so.

tck,your music is truly'wonderful' thankyou, you have made my day. i shall listen again...and smile.

Dear Elle

Thanks but it's a privilege

Gosh, I almost thought I once knew you

p.s. I've never heard Jed called 'socially aware'!

Hrrrr, am I imagining things or have some of your entries gone missing? I can't find the one about old buildings and ruins, I just felt like reading it again.

Has the goat eaten them?

stella

yes,the goat - or llama - or whatever it actually is has been running wild of late but I did manage to recover the post - albeit without the interesting debate on transience which followed unfortunately. Sorry for that

You look so cute animated!
I want you on a tshirt!!

Lonnie said...

I love this animated character so much, that I've been doing some fanart of him. He is very fun to draw.

I wonder if he has any other aliases besides "The Crooner" or "The Clerkenwell Kid" ...

clerkenwell kid said...

lovely

do ppst any pics for us won't you?

He is also known as 'The English Alchemist'

Lonnie said...

It would be an honor.

Here's a link to the high-res of my first picture, done in Flash ("Cloudie" is one of my pen-names). The character on the right is a fellow named Gin.

Currently, I am working on another picture: a CSS design for my deviantART journal. I'm even thinking of trying out some Flash animations in a style similar to George and Monica's.

Thanks for replying. =)

Lonnie said...

Thank you so much! =)

Lonnie said...

Hold on a moment.

"The English Alchemist", you say?

But isn't that David Piper's alias?
