Ouzo and the Orcins

Welcome to the myspace page of Ouzo and the Orcins!!
Hello! My name is Ouzo! When I was a tiny little baby, I was discovered under a blanket, drifting alone on an abandoned dive boat. Next to me was an Ouzo bottle filled with milk and a rubber teet attached. My parents, the divers, were no-where to be found...and were never found again.
Now, I am 10 or 11 years old, and the true beauty of being a character in a book, is that I can be that age forever and ever...a bit like Peter Pan! My great friends and mentors, Jim and Somao, are off on an adventure to discover secrets lost to their families many years ago. We will cross oceans, fight the good fight, and some of us, will fall in love along the way!
Steve, the guy who imagined me and bought me and my ocean friend to life, has recorded a soundtrack to the book which is what you are hearing now.
He tells me that this is the best way he can describe how the ocean makes him feel...he's taken some pictures too which you can see in the slide show!
If you would like to get to know Steve better, I'm sure he would love it if you were to visit and add him at his two other myspace pages, so here they are:
Steve Weller Blues and, Steve Weller
In the meantime, here is little extract from the book...come back and visit soon!!!
"Things are wonderfully different here Jim...she's beautiful isn't she...her name is "Selke."...Coming around that rocky point and seeing Uncle for the first time hanging precariously from the forestay, is the image of him I have most liked to recall in recent times. Were it not for the lack of sail aloft, I could easily have imagined him to be out on the open sea, standing ready for battle with cutlass in hand...or keeping watch on the forepeak for reefs or shallows...or preparing to reach down and pluck a lost shipmate from the sea....
And another....
So I sat, and I grasped at my dreams one by one,
Of you and of me and our days in the sun.
And I dreamed of your beauty, and this hunger inside,
And the depth of my passion found me dancing with pride.
I dreamed of a voyage to uncharted shores,
Of balmy soft evenings....of palms and Macaws.
And I'd fall in your spell, and dance in your sun,
And bathe in the beauty of what had begun.
And perhaps as I turn, I might catch your stare,
And the moon off the water might reflect in your hair.
And perhaps in that moment, in a cove off the coast,
We'd conjure a magic that could never be lost.
So I dream of this day and the warm days to come,
When we dance in the ocean and bask in the sun.
And I'll still find your kisses and fingers entwined,
And know that your soul had found comfort with mine.
