Автор:Ally Shearer Год: 2007 Издание:Книга по Требованию Страниц: 340 ISBN: 9781847480002 While maintaining personal mode-operandi - i.e. 'How we say, what we say, and when we utter it', brings forth sharply always, the judgement of us: as what we say and do - echoes eternity. Being an accomplished musician, entertainer, dancer and raconteur, as well as being Scottish through and through, Ally Shearer offers his works as much in poem as in song. Here he pays tribute to the Scottish heroes of the past such as Robbie Burns as well as introducing us to recent legends like Sir Jimmy Shand ('We'll hae a tune') and the intriguing Druid 'Hawk', a muso from Devon. But it's not just music that inspires this poet. Themes of love, parenthood, life on the road, a sense of the fleeting world, humour, satire, at times a gentle philosophy and a longing for things to improve are all examined and reflected upon with care, wonder and delight.
