Within the original wooden walls
of the oldest continuously occupied house in Austin,
six musicians,one poet and a recorder crunched together
in jovial re-enactment of Thomas Hardy's poetry set to music.
Hurdy-gurdy,violin,percussion,tin whistles,stand-up bass and guitar
with various sound effects via xylophone and violin bow
created soundscapes that enlivened his worthy words
and made a dance of the devil's instrument
to the accompaniment of planes,trains,chickens and birds..
For some reason,the word"muslin"became "muslim"
no matter how forgiving these musicians were
the verbal score was all for Hardy's original creation
less for its verbalizing antipodean re-creation...
No matter.Forgiveness is required on this brief earth
Thomas Hardy's words were conjured up to dance once more
and Boggy Creek Farm added soundtrack of animal farm proportions
Such a sunny Saturday to stay indoors to play
the results of which will be melted and molded
into a conjured up play of consciousness
to be offered soon in available formats
for you to judge why indoor sports
called us all to enjoy being Bucolics Anonymous
on Saturday March 25,2010
