The Lemmings from South Africa
Music for sale on iTunes! Just go to www.thelemmigsband.com and follow the link bottom left on homepage.
The Lemmings are a rock /acoustic /pop band from Pretoria, South Africa, now partially based in the USA.
The band consists of founding members Abri van Straten - singer/songwriter and Ludwig Bouwer – bassist. Joining them are Warren Bruckmann on drums and Brian Hodge on Piano and Keyboards.
The music, of which there are three released albums, has been described as "fluid and poetic" creating a new space in today's arena.
The Lemmings have done several national tours in South Africa and two tours in Europe - twice to the UK and once to Sweden . In total, the band has played far over one thousand shows, including such famous events and venues as The Radium (Johannesburg), The Blues Room (Johannesburg), The Sun City Superbowl, Gunston 500, The Saint Hill Arts Festival (Sussex, UK), Tre Backar (Stockholm) and Roxy Rhythm Bar (Melville, Johannesburg).
About The Music:
Though The Lemmings is a great studio band, they are ultimately a live act that continues to blow audiences away with their two-hour concerts. From vast spacial moments that remind one of Pink Floyd, to shimmering and energetic anthems that get the audiences singing along, the band's dynamic performances are ultimately where the die-hard fans are won.
Abri comments: "We are motivated by the present situation on Earth and our position in it. Music can bring hope and create the feeling of a future worth living. Art is really all people have today - an appreciation of beauty. One of our biggest sources of inspiration is the following quote: "A culture is only as great as its dreams, and its dreams are dreamed by artists."

Thomas L. Vaultonburg posted a blog postNew Rhinoceros Children's Book
I've been having a great year and creating lots of new things with Jenny. Over Christmas I was missing my guy Jack, so I wrote a book for him, then Jenny illustrated it. It's called The Toughskin Rhinoceros Wrangler Company. It's a simple story about the lengths we are willing to go to to see the people we miss. And there are dancing rhinoceroses. Here's some of Jenny's art…See More

Chapter 13 : Keys To AscensionRahu Lüli, the teenage monk from Kõrgus, is once again the central character of the weekly instalment of the Threshold Bookcast. This time, we find the novice reminiscing as he explores unknown territory uphill, following a hunch that has occurred to him prior to the morning ritual. « « Gazing up, the apprentice had detected an odd detail. Something was decidedly wrong about the view, and it couldn't but have a meaning. Over the years, the pitch black walls of…See More
REYJHON GALOS ENTENIA posted a blog postArt is my World
During my earliest year in Elementary School, the only hobby that steals my time is sketching on my notebook. While my teacher is discussing and writing on the board, I am in my chair at the back busy in sketching.In that time I believed that learning could not be taken only from school, and knowledge is not only about speaking and writing but also drawing.My mother exasperated every time she checks my notebook because what she found was not my homework but those faces of my favorite anime like…See More

PREVAILING WIND"
In a time long since passed
You held me once
As you do so now
In a different era and place.
We were quite the pair
We held onto virtues
In this period
Are even more rare.
Since then many values have changed
Promises are as easily taken
As they are given
Words are loosely defined.
Like a cup that can't hold water
Being full of holes
Through time, this perforation
Has weakened a cherished state.
We on the other hand
Stand as a shining example
A glowing flicker
Whose flame is in-extinguishable.
In a world of revolving
Inconsistencies
We are that foundation
Won't shift under any pressure.
This we accomplish
Through our interlocking stones
Only become more close knit
When faced with sheer adversity.
We are unorthodox
We follow footsteps we've made
Not those with such footprints
Like traps many have fallen into.
We are not perfect
We share disagreements
But do so with an ear
Of an underlying compromise.
We take our own cue
Gravitate towards compassion
Endure with a persistence
Of our prevailing wind.
paz!

It's fun to have so many good friends on line.
Bless.
Perparim Kapllani,
the owner of Albany Pizza at 222 Lansdowne Ave, in Toronto

Peace on Earth,
