Whisperers

They whisper in secret, spreading their venom, striking fear, questioning, accusing, abusing. Some succumb, not questioning, believing the lies, the hate, the misery. Some just remain silent in fear of rejection or fear of exposure or just in response to the age old guilt trip.

They demand a decision, taking of sides, accuse betrayal in disagreement when it's actually their own actions are betraying the friendship.

Who does this to a friend? Who empowers these petty, insecure little whisperers? Why are they empowered? Why are some so afraid to stand up and say enough is enough.

A friend stands by you, a friend is there when you need them, a friend makes no demands, a friend does not demand a choice between them or others, a friend just loves.

I am here if you need me, I will answer your questions, I do not hide and I do not demand loyalty you are free. I am the same as I've always been except perhaps a little stronger than before...

Big Show Day

Maximillion Kleene, originally uploaded by Jojamela Soon.

Thursdays are my big show days at the Cove and yesterday was no exception. I had a great lineup of regulars and specials, nine whole hours of live music with lots of great tunes and great fans.

I started the day a bit frazzled. RL got into the way and I got stuck on the road making myself late for DaveCorbett Darwin's show at 11am SLT. I dot there about 20 minutes after show start time and found that Dave wasn't streaming yet. We worked out the problem and Dave put on a great set. It was at this show that I finally had the pleasure to meet LittleNoisyFox, what an absolute delight!!! Soon as I saw him I threw out a tiny critters dance machine so he and another tiny that showed up were able to dance.... I wish I had gotten a picture, I always have so many IM's going on all at the same time, plus trying to pay attention to the show, somehow the pictures just seem to fall into the background.

Huge lineup of shows, starting with Davecorbett Darwin at 11am, Fyrm Fouroux at 1pm, Joaquin Gustav at 2, the awesome Fable Sinatra at 3. After an hour break we continued with Vincent Merricks at 5, Maximillion Kleene at 6 (this was totally awesome, cause Max is known for jamming with musicians all around the world and this show was no exception. First he brought in Digby Smalls for one song, and then Keiko Takamura, who had just shown up for her set for another.... what a treat!!) Keiko took the stage a bit late and was followed by Winters Kanto and Heath Elvehjem. All together a great day of music!!
