Well, we had a full house at Bonn folk club last Friday, and that despite a strike by local transport employees meaning that trams and busses were not running,
Bonn Choro were in full swing here culminating in voracious applause!
In fact the turnout was so good and the quality of the musicians was such that we are seriously considering writing to the unions responsible for calling strikes, to see if they could exclusively strike on the first Friday of the month in future as we seem to be now well able to deal with the problem.
The evenings theme was "flirting" and this not only occurs between human beings and also with some animals, but a lesser known incidence of flirting occurs between letters of the alphabet. The Bonn folk club is predominantly a live acoustic music venue, but we have been known in the past to also present poetry and spoken word on occasions and here is a short poem describing flirting between the 8th and 23rd letters of the English alphabet:
“H“ looks for „W“
Aitch looks for double-u
In a few centuries hence or hither
This will seem quite a normal thing to do
Just at this moment in time
It's a temporal problem
A time spart
Hence, whence or whither
is an unusual thing to do
We must introduce an „H“ (aitch)
To a „W“ (double-u)
In the meantime
we are here, from
whence we came
going to times and places hence
A silent aitch, looking for
an amiable double you.
John Harrison
