And for music this morning, here’s First Nations musician and composer Dr G. Yunupingu (commonly known as Gurummul) with the posthumous 2018 album Djarimirri – (Youtube) — The album was completed just weeks before his passing in July 2017 and presents traditional songs and harmonised chants from his traditional Yolngu life with orchestral arrangements. Stirring.
This poem was written on the land of the Wodi Wodi people who are the Aboriginal custodians of the Illawarra — and I pay my respects to Elders past and present.

Brilliant music selection. I really enjoyed that.

I studied the legs of the tennis players for quite awhile as to how they decided to approach the net hop. Great space after never. Knowing what you shared about the passing just a few weeks after recording this I can’t help but listen to Gurummul and orchestra as being a bridge to the other world, constructed to ease his journey and to help those left behind to cope with his passing on.

Funny they don’t do that in the modern game? Yes, I’m sure you’re right about the music.

Federer has it all! I know he would like the land that inspired the poem too!
