When I asked him, at a deli at Sixth Avenue and 57th in NYC, what he did there, he replied that he moved an imaginary rock up and down, apparently in his head, which I then told another friend, who succeeded Michael Lebeck in occuppying what had been EE Cummings' dolls house Mews building in Patchin Place, also in NYC. That was the lyricist Jerry Leiber whose one line response was "ROCKS IN HIS HEAD" - on the principle of projection: perhaps that is what those Norseman had back then a few thousand years ago, and perhaps they still do, although they no longer extroject them in quite that memorable a fashion! http://www.facebook.com/mike.roloff1?ref=nameSUMMA POLITICOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214697505465094305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494024784324680939.post-55204680959181405302011-12-21T11:48:11.202-08:002011-12-21T11:48:11.202-08:00you're very welcome scott. travelling back in ...you're very welcome scott. travelling back in time is nice... and especially so when one can remember such nice things and share them... those drawings are really cool. i can't draw. i like that about the nameless lives in that poem of your friend... it's a beautiful beautiful landscape, this all... mental and outside too...*https://www.blogger.com/profile/05680450955867041830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494024784324680939.post-6333957178466503432011-12-21T11:21:48.094-08:002011-12-21T11:21:48.094-08:00thanks for the g.m.brown suggestion. i hadn't ...thanks for the g.m.brown suggestion. i hadn't known him, but will read him now.<br /><br />you can see by what i've added to the post that your response took me back. many thanks.Scott Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01782322856303315648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494024784324680939.post-3140106764907832852011-12-21T10:38:29.893-08:002011-12-21T10:38:29.893-08:00do you know george mackay brown? i like his stuff...do you know george mackay brown? i like his stuff.<br /><br />orkneys are on my travelling list since ages and now even more so... nice old pictures... you've seen more of england than me :)*https://www.blogger.com/profile/05680450955867041830noreply@blogger.com
