Hello John - how are you
Lynn here from Scotland, remember the
songstones for the Bushman kids school in Botswana ?????
What a fabulous - wonderful - soul
fulfilling adventure, ohh I wish you could have been there - the
children were so amazed to have a musical instrument for themselves -
some of the children had left school and were back in their villages,
as one never to be defeated I set off across the settlements of the
Kalahari to find each and every one, their look of surprise and
astonishment to find that vehicle while arrived was seeking him
or her out ! As they became the main attraction in town, what
were they getting, who was it from, where the hell was Scotland
anyway! Ohh joy, laughter it makes music. For some reason it was
Amazing Grace everyone ending up playing, very strange. So on
one of these quiet still nights if you listen hard enough you too can
hear the gentle notes drifting from the Kalahari through your open
window.
