B-logbook/Corona Days: 04.04.2020: Blue Skies

Week three of indoor isolation. Lying on the balcony. Spring’s definitely here. Temperatures over 20 degrees Celsius . The sun’s getting stronger. The skies are bluer than blue.

B-logbook: 25.02.2020: Graffiti in the Park

New Graffiti in the park nearby. Some weeks ago they painted this small building white. Hiding all the graffiti from the last years underneath. I don‘t know who was disturbed. It wasn‘t me. But the graffiti sprayers and their graffiti art keeps coming back. That’s not a bad thing.

B-logbook: 23.02.2020: Great Street Art in Salzburg

A pleasant afternoon walk in the city of Salzburg. 15 degree Celsius. Walking by the still bare-branched sycamore trees on the embankment of the Salzach, who are still waiting for springtime. Just like we do.

Stopping at an advertising pillar. An aspiring young artist, surely a talented painter, had covered the promotion poster for the highbrow Salzburg Easter Festival with brown paper. He’s painting an exciting expressionist picture of the scenery here. A very dynamic, kind of pop art flash of the river, the bridges, the silhouette of Salzburg’s ancient center. I asked the young street artist if I may take a photo of him painting. He said yes, seemingly a kind of Eastern European accent. We talked shortly about his brilliant art. Then he’s was asking me if I would return the favour, filming him with his mobile phone doing his art. Of course I did.

B-Logbook 03.05.2018: Frühlingsblüten in Salzburg. Flowers in Spring

Nach schweren Gewittern und starkem Regen scheint der Frühling so schnell wieder weggewaschen wie er gekommen ist. Geblüht hat er aber überall, selbst in den vorborgensten Winkeln.

Und während es jetzt draußen wieder kühl, windig und nass ist, warten wir auf den Sommer.

After some heavy thunderstorms and heavy rain springtime seems to be washed away so quickly as it came. But beautiful spring blossoms were everywhere, even in the most hidden alleys.

And while it’s now cold, windy and wet outside again, we’re waiting for the summer.

B-Logbook 21.03.2018: Spring-Cleaning in my Sunday Morning Soul Playlist

Today’s the beginning of spring, at least that’s what the calendar’s saying. But the snowfall and freezing temperatures this morning are telling a different story.

But nevertheless, I started last weekend a spring-cleaning in my Sunday Morning Soul playlist, removed the dust, cleared out many of the more that 120 tracks, kept the ones I’m still very fond of and added old and new favourites for jazzing things up a bit.

Sade’s beautiful new single Flower of the Universe, Stevie Wonder’s bouncing I Was Made to Love Her, Everything But The Girl’s enchanting Green Plains A Cappella Mix of Twin Cities, Popincourt’s aptly named (and beautiful sounding) The First Flower of Spring and their great new jazzy instrumental B-side Improvisation Part 1, 2 & More, Brent Cash’s bittersweet All This Summer, Otis Redding’s soothing My Girl, Aretha Franklin’s gritty rendition of Groovin’ and some more.

Now springtime is awaited longingly. Downsized to 100 tracks, the first ten of my Sunday Morning Soul playlist, which is willing and able on each day of the week, go like this: The Rascals A Beautiful Morning, The Beatles Here Comes The Sun, Brent Cash Good Morning Sunshine, Dexys Grazing in the Grass, Everything But The Girl Twin Cities, Popincourt A New Dimension to Modern Love, The Style Council You’re The Best Thing, Stevie Wonder I Was Made To Love Her, Corinne Bailey Rae Put Your Records On, The Velvet Underground Sunday Morning.

More warmth, more light, please. Let there be sun.
