Two Horses of the Mayan Apocalypse

Well the world didn't end.
This is an old postcard my brother gave me many years ago. No idea how old it is, or who the artist was, however I'm sure whoever engraved or etched it would be happy to know it is still enjoyed today.

Dr Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt


Dvorak wrote serenades, as did Haydn and Mozart. Interesting snobbery concerning composers making a living by writing what the public wanted, the implied suggestion being the general public have inferior taste. Notes from a record cover.

"Gonna to see the river man
Gonna to tell him all I can

It’s meant for me
Oh, how they come and go"

There ain’t much to mill work.
The days just drag on and on.
There ain’t much to leaving home till you finally cut the cord and know you’re gone.
And there ain’t much to ice fishing till you miss a day or more
And the hole you cut freezes over
and it’s like you have never been there before.
