Favoriting January 5, 2022: Hi-Waisted Modernists #156 - The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn


On today's Hi-Waisted Modernists with DJ GeorgyGirl, The Blue-Haired Hippie, we celebrate Syd Barrett's birthday on the 6th with a reading from Chapter 7 of Kenneth Grahame's wonderful "The Wind in the Willows" - the glorious, beautiful, heartbreakingly sweet The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. There's also a selection of suitably lyrical and pastoral library music from the vaults of KPM and Bruton.

Hello lovely flannery! <3
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:05pm
David (in London):

Kenneth Grahame also wrote - in our family - the definitive Christmas story, Bertie's Escapades, about a pig of action who mounts an audacious raid on Grahame's larder. Seasonal meta Yule animal fiction, it really can't be beaten. Mr Barrett was sadly unavailable for comment.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:06pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

The day that Syd died, I was in Henley and tried to get into the Grahame museum but it was closed. I walked around to the back where there is an enormous picture window ... and a sudden shaft of sunlight hit the window .. and illuminated a tableau illustrating The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. That was for Syd. And yes, I cried <3
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:06pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@David - I shall earmark that for this Christmas :-) <3

When I was a kid I tried to read this, but it was alien on so many levels! An old guy from another time and country, product of a very different childhood and literature. Now I can appreciate it a little better and this is a very nice way to present it. Thank you!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:35pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@tw2sheds - Oh!! I'm so pleased I could do that for you :-) <3 What a lovely comment :-)

After this show see if you got the files I am wiring GG... don't remember how long ago it was but they are in transit again
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:36pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@MHLee - Thank you! :-) I will definitely check after the show <3
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:38pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

I was reading an article which said how brave it was of Grahame to invoke Pan in a story, rather than say God. Very Pagan for a children's book! :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:38pm
MHLee:

Jan and I had some issues with the service so it occurred you might have not gotten them
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:38pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@MHLee - Ah! That makes sense! Fingers crossed then. I'm looking forward to it :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:39pm

Into the Mystic: The Visionary and Ecstatic Roots of 1960s Rock and Roll has a very good section this and Syd and pagans and how it comes together
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:39pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@MHLee - I'm going to buy that this month :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:41pm
MHLee:

I read it in Ireland I think
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:41pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@MHLee - I'm eager to read it :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:42pm
David (in London):

Have you read Rob Young's new one, GG?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:42pm
MHLee:

It' changed my view on rock's origins and on the beatles
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:42pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@David - Oh! He has a new one?? OOO!!! Excellent!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:42pm
StringOFperils:

I was just thinking it was particularly British, to bring in classical myths like the faun. For some, because they're steeped in classics, and for the rest, because they're nestled in Roman Britannia, and the Earth and time before time. those characters would never appear in North Am
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:42pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@MHLee - I am genuinely intrigued by it!! :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:43pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@SOp - There's so many roots and movements in music and art and literature. All fascinating stuff :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:44pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@David - The Magic Box? That looks good! :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:45pm
MHLee:

It's definitely part of hearkening back to rural england, an england that is both authentic but always unobtainable
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:46pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@MHLee - It goes in waves even to the present day
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:46pm
Paper Kosmonaut:

Well formulated, MHLee.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:46pm
David (in London):

GG, yes, that's the one. Haven't actually read it myself yet, but it's in the queue.

Chris Gunning later did the music for Poirot. And damned fine it was too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:54pm
