Some things which are important to me at the moment:-
Memories are made of things like this!
Miranda West indeed! That cracked me up!
My thanks to the kind person who uploaded this clip so that I could see it!!
The early promo bit for the film, made to help get a distribution deal and encourage 'funding' for finishing. There is not yet an updated promo clip. Lots more has been done since this was made and Tony Barrow is also now featured along with Neil Innes and myself. Freda Kelly, Tony Bramwell, Spencer Davis and Mike McGear were already in the can! And holding the whole thing together with inimitable style is the marvelous Victor Spinetti! The real McCoy is now out. Along with some of the fans who also had memories of those magical days.
Those heady days!
The Case about the ‘West Memphis Three’
Important news is coming through!
Visit www.wm3.org
And follow the links for latest Media Cover.
Exciting Times!
Also visit:- www.jivepuppi.com
For an easily assimilated grasp of the case that will not take months!
Think of it as the distilled Malt Whiskey of the whole ghastly chain of events.
I will put an active link for donations to the WM3.org link to the Trust Account in the name of Damien Echols Defence Fund when the method of allocation and the accounting of funds given is clarified
Hopefully very soon.
The attorneys for the three have been making arrangements for this so as to remove both any doubts with respect to potential possible conflict of interest issues as well as to assure that the legal needs of all three are fairly met!

Meanwhile
Here is a site which is fully accountable
and in which I have total confidence.
A new set up, but with some elder statesmen of the campaign endorsing it.
The West Memphis Three I.P.
DNA has allegedly been found on one of the bindings of one of the victims. It is not the DNA of one of the 3 convicted but is possibly the DNA of step-father of one of the victims - or a maternal blood relative. This of course could just be a secondary transfer or a primary if it was his son's shoe lace. What is interesting though is that NO DNA was found belonging to any of the convicted! So it does beg the question of 'reasonable doubt' to be raised more formally in the arguments of the Defence Teams.
Justice Still Has A Chance To Prevail!
Please help to get the word out about this case if it reaches out to you??

The Arkansas Times
The Case about the ‘West Memphis Three’
It is with great regret that I am pulling out of any further active and proactive involvement in the 'official wm3' Awareness Campaign.
See yellow window down below for full statement. The feeling of dis-ease has been simmering for a while but I formally cancelled long term plans a while back. I did NOT want to just expunge the case from here as I still support the fight for justice. Just not bending ears any more!

.. People I want to meet? Tough one, I won't know until I have met them! Meanwhile I have been lucky enough to meet a lot of good people over the years whom I would love to have the chance of seeing again!
And I am slowly working on it.

A Documentary on the engineering involved and the building of The Panama Canal
And, lastly, a black and white film about Malta's heroic stand in the last war!
It made me realize the power of film on an audience. I saw it in some old building or in a tent with raised seats in the desert when it was shown at the camp at El Bhala (spelling?) in Egypt where we had moved, short term, from Malta. I must have been 6 years old and it was rather scary seeing places I ‘knew’ being bombed until it was explained that it was like being read a scary story in a scary voice and it was all in the past and what was on the screen was make believe! Some of the war damaged scenes I knew though!
I rather think my anti war stance grew out of this as well as later living in Berlin where one got ‘used’ to every third house on the block being a bomb site!
Why oh why do we ‘expect’ our young to become accustomed to this?
Oh for the day when a news report from a war torn place will give equal weighting to the deaths of ‘our’ forces and ‘their civilians’.
Two American soldiers doing what they are paid to do and have chosen as a career are really more important, as perceived by the global community, to Americans in America than a dozen women and children shopping for the next meal in a different culture, society and country that is so alien to most middle Americans?
More Film / TV footage!

This video of clip I saw for the first time at the launch party for the Sandy Denny Biography! It nearly made me fall apart then ~ but I can watch it and enjoy it now ~ just ~ without choking up! What a waste. I for one, do not believe 'her time had come'. But I guess if wishes were horses then beggars would ride all the way back to Banbury Cross!
TW3!
That Documentary on the Building of the Panama Canal.
Books & Authors:-
Eclectic taste again! <>br
Jane Fonda's autobiography ~ 'My Life So Far' Very good. I can highly recommend it.
I now have the urge to re-read all of Shirley McLean's!
Currently re-reading Devil's Knot by Mara Leveritt and Almost Home by Damien Echols; FINISHED! So appalled that I had to read TWICE!
