Stories are all works of fiction. Names, characters, place and events are the product of the author's imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events and places is totally coincidental Fafo got ready for court with mixed feelings, relief on the one hand that the process had begun and he would at least know what his fate would be. Hopefully he might even get a result. His barrister seemed a smart fellow who looked capable of literally pulling the proverbial rabbit out of a hat. He was also apprehensive that he might, on the other hand, get the proverbial book thrown at him; which was what happened in the end. At least with the start of the trial, the feeling that he was in limbo would cease. So smartly dressed, watered and fed by the prison guards, he hopped into the van with a spring in his step. He was happy as the van sped through the quiet english countryside. Looking out of his little cubicle he drank in the view, envied those that he saw quietly g...

On A Lighter Note: This has been reproduced from Dancing Moccasins verbatim: Indian Chief "Two Eagles" was asked by a white U.S. government official, "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You have seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done. The Chief nodded in agreement. The official continued, "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?" The Chief stared at the government official then replied, "When white man find this land, Indians running it, no taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, clean water. Women did all the work, Medicine man give treatment free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; all night, having sex." Then the chief leaned back and smiled, "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that." I couldn't stop laughing when I read this and thought I should...

Stories are all works of fiction. Names, characters, place and events are the product of the author's imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events and places is totally coincidental Fafo stared hard at the charm that seems to have taken on a mischievous life of it's own. The many events that now seemed to have had a bearing on this thing that he now holds in his hands, had become too numerous to dismiss as coincidence. The open and shut case that both the Customs people and the police thought they had, almost disintegrated before their very eyes. The lead detective charged with prosecuting Fafo suffered a nervous breakdown. Detective Sergeant Eric Fisher's problems began, when an urgent report came in stating that the contraband stored as evidence in a supposedly secure police bonded warehouse was gradually diminishing in size. Almost half of the exhibit had somehow vanished; no one could explain why, so Sgt. Fisher's credi...

On a lighter note: Just Jiving! GETTING YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR BACKSIDE Nowadays, I hear the phrase "Get Your Head Out Of your Ass" so often, I sometimes wonder what it really means. Although I get the general drift and the message is quite clear if you take certain circumstances into consideration; Where did that phrase actually come from? Who invented it and what were they thinking? Short of being a Contortionist, how does a human head reach those nether regions? I sometimes imagine a person literally sticking their own head up their own backside, an anatomical impossibility, except perhaps, you work in a circus. Is there a particular formula to achieving such a gross thingy? After the head had been up there for a while and someone suddenly says GYHOOYAss…..will it come out with a popping sound or what? I would not like to be in such an environment anyway, think of the smell. Personally, I would rather tell someone they got shit for brains than ask them...

Hello friends, I am rethinking my blog, reworking and creating new material to put on here. The story will continue shortly. Meanwhile I'm busy recording some new and relevant songs to put here.  The aim remains the same, to inform, educate and entertain all at the same time. A tall order that can be achieved. You all matter and are always welcome to check in from time to time. For y'all, it's definitely worth it. Best wishes, It's me...'Bodederek

Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events and places is totally coincidental He was sitting quietly on a long bench made from thick wooden slats, the bench stretched across the whole width of the cell and was firmly embedded into the wall at both ends. His head cradled in his palms as he stared at the floor, Fafo was full of self pity and regret. His immaculately shined shoes was at one end of the bench while he sat at the other end.  It had been impossible to get any sleep because of the noise coming from an adjacent cell. The police officers had stopped checking up on the female occupant who was raising hell with her banging and shrieking. Her yelling only confirmed to them that she was alright, so they ignored her shouting, but she never gave up, the noise continued till dawn. They looked in on her more frequently now, because she was quiet....

Apologies, the proposed story "Can You See Me?" is not ready to be posted. January 2013 for me, has been a challenge. The extremely cold weather threatened when the central heating packed up. The burst pipe filled my work/living space with cold water, saturating the walls and resulted in my hasty exit from a damp bedroom. The weather was only one of the many things that has made january so far, a challenge. Everything that could go wrong, simply went wrong. It would have been very easy for me to throw my hands in the air and give up. I soldiered on, worked around the problems when I could. I had to, because I believe it is all worthwhile. Still a work in progress, the website www.MusicArtinDesign.com  is up. A tentative step at a very difficult time, this one too, is worth all the trouble.  Creators of music, practitioners of art and design are welcome to contribute posts, ideas, concepts together with samples of their work. I am looking for people who would l...
