I knew that when I published the previous post that I hadn’t really got to the end of the story and that more needed to be said around the subject of truth and facts and belief. Little did I know though that pretty much before the ink had dried on that post I would hear another extreme example of the issue from across the pond.

Does Truth Matter
Of course it does – I hear you all say. Of course, I agree. However there are some nuances to explore and – more specifically, some examples of where truth seems to have no place in the conversations. Strangely it is almost exactly a year (took so long to do this one that it is now 5 years!) since I wrote Face It – You Don’t Know which in some ways explored the same topic – but from a slightly different viewpoint.
Boscombe Band – An Easter Tale
Although some of the videos of the Band have cropped up during my previous blogging I thought that it would be a good idea to bring more of them together in a series of posts. Many of them are, of course, available on the Band’s own website but this will allow me to create the record of these memories alongside my other music posts.
Boscombe Band at Home

Should Everyone Be Woke
Today I did something that I have never done before – I had a ‘conversation’ with Copilot. I’m not sure how often I would repeat this, but I did find it to be more illuminating than I expected.
What A Difference an Arrangement Makes
My previous post was about a performance by Voces8 and Ringmasters and they once again feature here.
Its How You Say It
I was surprised that looking back in my blog this subject doesn’t seem to have cropped up before – even though it is definitely something that I have – over the years – given some thought to. So now we will rectify that a bit.
Always Too Young To Know Everything
I’ve been prompted to write something on this subject by a couple of videos that popped up as recommended on my YouTube feed this week – although it is also in many ways following on from my previous post when it comes to being well informed and the Dunning-Kruger effect. The idea, of course, is fundamental to the purpose of this blog – i.e. to continue to learn and to constantly remind yourself that there is much yet to be known.
The (dis)Information Age
Much has already been written and said about the current state of US politics by people who are much wiser than me. Of course, probably much more has been written by others 😂. It is undoubtedly true that – for anyone – anything that threatens ‘their’ world view will be seen as ‘bad’ – that is, I think, an inbuilt knee-jerk response. For that reason, initial (and perhaps ill-considered) reactions are often not a good representation of ‘reality’ – and we will come to how much is ‘real’ in a moment.
