Plena Global's Mauricio Krausz Interviewed in the latest Colombia Cannabis Investor Publication
In the June 2019 edition of the Colombia Cannabis Investor publication, Plena Global's Head of Partnerships and Government Relations – Colombia, Mauricio Krausz, shares insights from his experience leading Econnabis SAS to be one of the first entities in Colombia to receive cultivation and production licenses.
Early applicant
An interview with Mauricio Krausz, Head of Partnerships and Government Relations at Plena Global.
CCI: What challenges did you face as one of the first companies to receive a license?
MK: I was living in Barcelona in December 2015 when former President Juan Manuel Santos signed the first decree with respect to the legalization of medical cannabis. I phoned my business partner, Tony Levi, who had originally taught me all about medical cannabis – its cultivation and extraction protocols and dosing – and we decided to proceed with the creation of Econnabis in 2016. From the beginning we decided to apply for all the licenses (use of seeds for sowing, sale, delivery and scientific purposes, cultivation of both psychoactive and non-psychoactive plants, and the manufacture of cannabis derivatives as well as domestic distribution, scientific research, and export) because we understood that each license was tied to another. In retrospect, this was a good strategic business decision because Econnabis avoided the setbacks of not obtaining licenses that others faced. We changed and altered elements of our application throughout the years, but from the very start Tony and I were adamant about wanting to take Econnabis as far as we could.
CCI: As one of the first Colombian LPs, were you inundated with offers from foreign investors?
MK: It was a circus. We encountered every type of offer you could imagine. At the same time, Colombians were creating a bubble by applying for licenses and then selling the companies that had acquired those licenses. It reminded me of the gold and oil industry booms in recent years, and we know how those stories worked out. We knew we wanted to go with a group that shared our vision and that added value to what we were already doing. We had got as far as we could with our own resources. This is one of the most exciting and challenging industries in the world and we felt honored to be part of it. It was not about the money for us, it was about finding the right team of experts that would be successful in growing at scale and reaching as many people as possible with the products.
CCI: What made Plena Global the right fit?
MK: We had seen how many companies spoke about final products and marketing, but no one was really focused on cultivation. Plena Global was looking to tap into the cannabis belt, the equatorial zone with 12 hours of sunlight. Their vision was centered around cultivating a consistent supply at scale and on spec in ideal geographic locations. In addition, Plena Global focused on the cultivation and extraction of medical cannabis, and building a production chain with which they can ultimately improve the quality of life of as many people as possible around the globe through a B2B channel.
CCI: Are there any other regional markets that take your interest?
MK: Peru is an interesting opportunity with a government history of investing heavily – and successfully – in agriculture. Although the legislation is in the process of finalization, opportunities are emerging for Peru to become yet another cannabis cultivation powerhouse in Latin America.
CCI: Do you think the criticism about value added products is legitimate?
MK: I believe that this is the entire reason the law was passed; I think if we were allowed to export flower we would be stuck. But, by becoming an extract economy, it obliges investment and science to come in. It's still a raw material, but it's an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) with added value.
CCI: How has your company approached community relations around its project?
MK: When we started Econnabis, the first presidential decree required companies to have a social impact project. We thought a good social impact project would be to invest in cannabis education. After engaging with the community to understand their needs, we started creating our corporate social responsibility program focused on direct community empowerment through different programs. We're starting a drug prevention program in Nemocón in which we provide the necessary resources to parents, schools and teenagers to educate and make informed decisions. We are also looking to invest into a second-language program in English. At Plena Global, the company believes strongly that we have an opportunity, and a responsibility, to use our knowledge and our capabilities to make a positive and holistic impact on the communities where we operate across the globe. Our approach to social responsibility includes providing holistic support to the communities in which we operate. We focus on initiatives that will create generational impact, empowering our employees to give back to their communities, and ensuring that we run our company in a way that upholds important social responsible policies and practices.
CCI: Does Colombia have the potential to make its own medicine?
MK: I think it does, and it's in the hands of the private sector. Very respectable laboratories are learning about this industry and that's a positive thing. The capacity is there, and the fact it's produced here also has effects. I read an article about Colombia having a huge potential for clinical studies, so we're in an amazing position.
CCI: Do you have a wishlist of reforms you'd like to see from the government?
MK: As with new laws, there is still a lot of work to be done to perfect them. The first and most important one is to clarify the rules of commercializing non-psychoactive cannabis. There is a common understanding that the non-psychoactive cannabinoids are not considered controlled substances. There is an opportunity for Colombia to become the world's powerhouse in exporting non-psychoactive cannabis once there is clarity on the government plans to classify these. On a medicinal level, cannabis has to be classified on its own: not as a medicine. There's a lot of difficulty regarding on-scale production for the domestic market because INVIMA requires clinical studies.
CCI: It's an exciting industry, but do you have any concerns about how the industry is developing?
MK: My main concern is some companies are over promising results without providing a proper proof of concept and this can be detrimental to the entire marketplace. Laws on a global level are still being developed. Over promising results seems to be creating a false expectation in the market. This can affect everybody in the local industry as well as the perceptions of those outside.

NY Times (and Netanyahu) Co-opt Paris Massacre
Posted on January 11, 2015 by TimesWarp.org
"Israelis Link Attacks To Their Own Struggles," reads a recent headline in The New York Times. The story, with a prominent photo of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, fills the top of a front section page in the paper's print edition.
It is pure hype. The horrifying Paris shootings are not an Israeli story, and Netanyahu is making a big stretch to appropriate the tragedy for his own use. Unfortunately, the Times is a willing partner in this effort.
Jerusalem bureau chief Jodi Rudoren writes in the Times article that Netanyahu equated the Paris attackers with Israel's enemies, including Hamas and Hezbollah, and stated that "Israel is being attacked by the very same forces that attack Europe."
And his remarks, Rudoren says, came before a gunman and several hostages died in a standoff at a kosher supermarket. This development, she writes, "brought things closer to home for Jews in Israel and beyond"—as if it revealed that anti-Semitism was at the heart of the attacks.
In fact, in thousands of words devoted to the shootings, the Times makes no connection between the motives of the gunmen and Israel, even in stories about their background and training under Al Qaeda. The anger and hostility they expressed was directed at France and French society.
The Times would do better to focus on the actual victims of Al Qaeda and its related movements in Iraq and Syria. There we could hear from those who know firsthand just how these groups operate.
Instead it is Israeli "struggles" that are promoted here and Israeli complaints that the world ignores their fight with terrorism. Rudoren does give voice to critics of Israel, but she does so obliquely, paraphrasing their major points and speaking through a third party.
Thus we hear from Israeli columnist Anshel Pfeffer, who notes that Europeans don't see the situation as a battle between Islam and the West but as "a kind of unjust occupation of Palestinian territory." Israel violates international law in its confiscation of Palestinian land, but Rudoren can't say so. The best she can do is quote an observer—an Israeli one at that—who pegs it as "kind of unjust."
Far down in the article we get direct quotes from Palestinian leader Mustafa Barghouti, who also refers to occupation, but many readers are likely to dismiss his remarks as disgruntled comments from the opposition, and in any case, Rudoren quickly returns to the Israeli sources, who dominate her story.
When Netanyahu addressed the United Nations General Assembly last October, he tried to make the same case—that Israel and the West are under attack by radical Islam—but few were listening. As one Israeli journalist noted: "Most of the world does not believe that Hamas—which is part of the Palestinian national movement—and the Islamic State, which is seeking an Islamic caliphate, are 'branches of the same poisonous tree.'"
The Times, however, is ready to support this claim, tattered as it is, and Netanyahu has an ally here is his effort to capitalize on the tragedy in France for his own purposes.

I felt sick when I saw Netanyahu in those photos – what a sick opportunist he is, and what a horrible excuse for a human being!
Thanks again Barbara, for pointing out the truth.

Great article as always. Another interesting point: It was on Friday 9th January that Netanyahu said and was fully quoted by the NYT in the article referenced here: "They might have different names — ISIS, Boko Haram, Hamas, Al Shabab, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah — but all of them are driven by the same hatred and bloodthirsty fanaticism." On this same day, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah (Secretary General of Hezbollah) delivered a public speech. Nasrallah not only denounced the violent extremism practiced by various 'Islamic' groups, but he also (yet again) encouraged dialogue and diversity. For example, when reporting on the positive progress of Hezbollah's ongoing dialogue with Future, another Lebanese political party with whom Hezbollah has often disagreed, he stated, "Dialogue leaves positive effects on the sectarian climate in Lebanon." In fact, the NYT online ran 3 articles on Nasrallah's speech (its own, Reuters, AP), none of which even mention his speech's emphasis on dialogue between parties and his call for national dialogue. Actually, I find absolutely no NYT reporting of this very momentous series of dialogues, which began last month. Perhaps the pursuit of peaceful reconciliation and cooperation does not fit the agenda of the NYT and its Israeli friends. . . .

Haaretz carried the story of the Kosher Market employee who ushered 15 customers into the Market's walk in cooler for safety and stood guard outside……..He was a Muslim.
Will we see that story in theNYT?
It's possible he was mentioned in the NYT, but there's been no story.

Belligerent Maui man aboard British Airways flight charged after threatening to blow up plane
Hawaii Reporter
LOS ANGELES – A 20-year-old man from Kihei, Maui, was charged with one count of interfering with a flight crew, after he threatened to kill flight attendants and passengers on a British Airways flight from London to Los Angeles, Monday.
FBI agents from the Los Angeles Joint Terrorism Task Force arrested Kevin Lee Mosele after the plane landed at LAX. After he appeared in U.S. District Court Tuesday, Mosele was released on a $10,000 bond, and ordered to return for an arraignment on August 4.
Captain Sean Dewbury, the pilot for British Airways flight BA283, told the FBI that two hours into the flight, a flight attendant that there was an "abusive and disruptive passenger on the flight," who was "swearing and screaming."
Dewbury told Mosele if his behavior continued, he would divert the flight to Iceland and have the police remove him from the flight. Dewbury also considered landing in Calgary and Toronto, Canada.
According to passenger Natalie Bean, Mosele began to mock the captain and said, "I dare you. You won't land for just one person."
Mosele continued to ignore Dewbury's warning and became more aggressive, the FBI affidavit said, even claiming he had a bomb on the aircraft.
British Airways Flight Attendant Michael Crawley told FBI agents that Mosele appeared intoxicated, and as he became increasingly agitated, threaten flight attendants, saying, "I am going to fucking kill you" and "Let me go; I am going to open this door."
British Airways flight attendant Christopher Green said he discovered two small wine bottles and two small whiskey bottles in Mosele's seat area, not the same as those sold on the flight and believes Mosele brought the alcohol on the flight.
Male flight attendants took turns sitting next to Mosele attempting to calm him down, but when that didn't work, they used restraining devices handcuffs and "webbing."
Kevin Lee Mosele shows off his GED on McKinley Community School for Adult's Facebook page
British Airways Flight Attendant William James reported that after Mosele was handcuffed he spit on a flight attendant's face and said, "You better let me out or I am going to kill you and open the aircraft door." He also yelled, "I will find you on Facebook and kill you."
James said Mosele was "swearing a lot" and "working himself up." After being restrained, he spent the next eight hours struggling in the restraints, screaming, and spiting.
After he was arrested in LAX, Mosele told FBI Special Agent Kevin Hogg that he had a nine-hour layover in London Heathrow International Airport, during which time he consumed "a couple of beers and a couple of wine beverages" and also purchased a bottle of white wine.
Mosele claimed he was joking with female flight attendants for about 90 minutes and walking around the rear of the plane, before a male flight attendant thought he was getting too aggressive, and asked him to take his seat. Mosele admitted he began screaming at the male flight attendant, becoming extremely agitated after being put into the restraining cuffs.
Mosele apologized to the FBI agent and said he went "crazy" when restrained and admitted yelling things like, "I'm going to open the door and jump out", "I'm going to find you on Facebook and kill everyone", "I'm going to blow up the plane", "fuck you" and "a lot of bad words."
Mosele told the FBI agent, "I apologize, it's all my fault", "I'm mad at myself" and claimed he is "90 percent at fault."
Honolulu FBI Special Agent Tom Simon said, "In this post 9/11 era, threatening to bomb an aircraft, murder the flight crew, or open the door mid-flight is something that we don't take lightly."
The FBI sees a lot of cases in Honolulu of people disrupting flight crews, Simon said, but added this was unusual that the defendant was actually a local man returning home to Maui, and his alleged threats of violence detailed in the criminal complaint were oddly specific.
"The defendant allegedly yelled at a member of the flight crew that he was going to find the crew member on Facebook and kill him. That had to be a chilling thing to hear at work," Simon said.
The charge against Mosele could land him in federal prison for up to 20 years.

DeChambeau "Cranks" 331-Yard Drive
Bryson DeChambeau is known for his calculating approach to the game of golf, but only one number mattered on Tuesday at the 100th PGA Championship at Bellerive Country Club outside of St. Louis: 331. As in 331 yards, the distance he essentially flew his drive on the par-4 10th hole during the annual PGA Championship Long Drive Competition.
In a 2016 profile of DeChambeau, Jaime Diaz wrote about the Southern Methodist University product's excess power reserve and the two kinds of driver swings he employs.
"DeChambeau does have exceptional power in reserve," Diaz wrote. "His normal driver swing, which he calls his "fairway finder," is about 113 miles per hour (the PGA Tour average through late March was 112.99), and he produces drives in the 290-yard range (the tour averages 290.1). But when he decides to go for extra distance, DeChambeau will use his "crank" drive, widening his stance and using more wrist cock to create clubhead speed of over 125 mph, producing drives of 340 yards and more."
As his coach, Mike Schy is quoted as saying, "Bryson understands his power sources."
It's official! @b_dechambeau has won the 2018 #PGAChamp Long Drive Competition.

La grotta Sơn Đoòng è una grotta nella provincia di Quang Binh, Vietnam. È situata nel parco nazionale di Phong Nha-Ke Bang. Scoperta da un uomo del posto nel 1991, è stata studiata da un gruppo di esploratori britannici. È la più grande grotta del mondo. La grotta è situata vicino al confine con il Laos.
La caverna è larga, nella maggior parte dei suoi passaggi, circa 80 metri e alta altrettanto, con una lunghezza totale di 4,5 km. Si stima che i suoi passaggi vadano oltre quella distanza, dato che il team della British Cave Research Association ha dovuto fermare la spedizione a causa delle piogge stagionali.

Per quasi 3 km la caverna raggiunge le dimensioni di 140x140 metri, battendo il record della Deer Cave nel Borneo (Malaysia). Il primo team che è entrato si è fermato quando ha incontrato un muro di roccia dell'altezza di 14 metri, mentre il secondo è stato bloccato prima di quel limite dall'arrivo della stagione umida.

Laverstoke Mill, Whitchurch, Hampshire: Historic Buildings Report
Laverstoke Mill is a large, multi-phase paper mill near Whitchurch, north Hampshire. It operated as a paper mill between 1719 and 1963, when Laverstoke was the principal mill of the Portal family, who from 1724 held the sole contract for the manufacture of Bank of England banknote paper. Hand-made rag paper constituted the majority of the output at Laverstoke until the 1950s, although various papermaking machines were installed from the mid-19th century, notably by Bryan Donkin. The complex comprises around forty closely-grouped buildings with an exceptional landscape setting which includes Laverstoke Park, the mill pond and the River Test. The principal mill buildings are low-rise, red brick structures of mid-19th to mid-20th century date, with metal-framed windows and ashlar, flint or vitrified brick detailing. They remained in reasonably good condition at the time of the 2006 survey, although papermaking machinery has long been removed. Laverstoke Mill lies within the Laverstoke and Freefolk Conservation Area and contains three grade ii -listed buildings: Mill House, Mill Cottages, and the Glazing House. The significance of Laverstoke Mill lies in the architectural interest of the buildings and its historical association with the Bank of England. It was one of the largest and foremost hand-made paper mills in Britain.

Charles Tillman Uses Old Age As Motivation
By ryanwilson Jun 3, 2011, 8:32am CDT
Share All sharing options for: Charles Tillman Uses Old Age As Motivation
In the scheme of things, these pre-draft comments by the Chicago Tribune's Dan Pompei were somewhere between innocuous and obvious. In talking about the Bears' cornerback situation, Pompei wrote on April 17 that, "The Bears don't have an immediate need as they have several young corners with potential in Zack Bowman, D.J. Moore and Joshua Moore. But no team ever has enough, and Charles Tillman, the Bears' best, is 30. Now might be the time to draft his successor. General manager Jerry Angelo likes to take corners in the middle rounds."
Reasonable enough, except that sometimes players find motivation in places that most of us wouldn't think to look. Like, say, Bears cornerback Charles Tillman who admitted in a recent radio interview to saving an article Pompei once wrote (presumably the one quoted above).
"I feel like that was a call out," Tillman said, according to Pompei. "I think everyone should get motivated when someone calls them out. That's why we play this game. We're competitive. When someone says I can't do something or I'm too old to do something, it fires me up. I think it's a good thing. Well let me show you how old I am. I like motivation. It fuels you. It gives you something to work for."
Part of me understands where Tillman is coming from. Proving others wrong can drive you to work harder. But assuming Tillman was bothered by Pompei's "You're 30" observation and not something more sinister, then it's not so much motivational retribution but the manufactured "me vs. them" pep talk that Bill Belichick made famous in recent years.
Pompei seems to understand as much. "I can count on one hand the number of athletes I've known who actually understood they were losing something as they aged. Denial probably is a vital aspect of confidence." And let's be honest: nobody -- not even in the Patriots locker room -- thought they were underdogs, but the "let's prove everybody wrong!" tactic worked out pretty well for them. Maybe Tillman's onto something.

A renegotiated Brexit would go ahead under Labour govt
Britain's opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn would push ahead with Brexit and seek to renegotiate the terms if he won a snap election next year, he said on Saturday, in a blow to party supporters who want a second referendum
Like much of Britain, Corbyn s Labour party is deeply divided over Brexit, with some senior lawmakers leading calls for a fresh vote and others representing areas that recorded the highest support for leaving the European Union in the 2016 plebiscite.
Corbyn, a Socialist with little passion for the EU, has been reluctant to support a second referendum, or People s Vote, but with less than 100 days to go until Brexit the clamour is growing for either a delay or a second vote to prevent Britain leaving without a deal.
You d have to go back and negotiate, and see what the timetable would be, the 69-year-old told the Guardian newspaper, when asked what he would do if he won an early election designed to break the deadlock in parliament.
Asked what stance Labour would take if a referendum were held, Corbyn said: it would be a matter for the party to decide what the policy would be; but my proposal at this moment is that we go forward, trying to get a customs union with the EU, in which we would be able to be proper trading partners.
Britain is due to leave the EU on March 29. Prime minister Theresa May has struck a withdrawal agreement with Brussels but was forced to pull a parliamentary vote on it last week after admitting she would lose by a large margin.
A new election is not due until 2022 but one could be called if May fails to get her primary policy through parliament.
Meanwhile, the British government could tell citizens to change their diets if importing food from the European Union becomes difficult under a no-deal Brexit, a report said Friday.
London has begun planning what to do about food supplies if Britain leaves the EU without an agreement with Brussels, The Times said, citing plans revealed to the newspaper.
Perishable goods, such as vegetables from the Netherlands or fruit from Spain, could be held up at the border, if tough checks are imposed or the EU limits trade, said the report.
It said the government had identified giant hangars around the country that could be used to stockpile food.
However, officials do not think there would be a general food shortage, according the report.
Some companies have begun taking matters into their own hands.
The Zizzi and ASK restaurant chains will be switching from Italian to British mozzarella suppliers.
The brands parent company Azzurri said it had taken the decision due to fears that a no-deal Brexit would disrupt food supplies into Britain.
The new Welsh milk mozzarella has already been introduced by ASK and will be on the Zizzi menu next year.
Meanwhile businesses including Premier Foods, Quorn, and London s plush Fortnum and Mason emporium have said they will stockpile some products in case of delays at the border.
The British government and Brussels have struck a withdrawal agreement that would prevent a no-deal Brexit.
However, it currently lacks majority support in the British parliament, being opposed by both Brexiteer lawmakers and pro-EU MPs alike.
The government has stepped up its no-deal planning.
Prime minister Theresa May has said the vote on the deal will take place the week of January 14.
Britain is due to leave the EU on March 29.

Adam Smith and America...
Individualism and Inequality
The Future of Work and Politics
Ralph Fevre
A belief in individual self-determination powered the development of universal human rights and inspired social movements from anti-slavery to socialism and feminism. At the same time, every attempt to embed individualism in systems of education and employment has eventually led to increased social inequality. Across the globe individualism has been transformed from a revolutionary force into an explanation for increasingly unequal societies where dissent is largely silent. This book explores the possibility of rediscovering the original, transformative potential of individualism.

Can the USA and the UK really be treated as equally important to anti-slavery and other examples of human rights campaigns in the way Hans Joas suggests? Chapter 2 certainly suggested that human rights did not owe as much to American Protestantism as he contended. This chapter discusses the idea that the combination of ideas drawn from religious, sentimental and cognitive individualism – their relative importance and the degree to which one strand influences the other – are of primary importance in the trajectories of polities, societies and economies. The USA was not wholly lacking in sentimental individualism but the mixture of individualist ideas that developed there did not have the same explosive effect documented in British anti-slavery, for example. Lukes (1973) was hardly being controversial when – writing a few years before neoliberalism began its take-over – he sharply distinguished the individualisms of the USA and the UK. In nineteenth-century Britain, the ideas which underpinned equality and freedom – respect for human dignity, autonomy, privacy and self-development – were stronger. In the USA, the dominant strand of individualism was associated with classical liberalism and its emphasis on the right to property and to make a living as one chooses, free-thinking, self-help, minimal government and taxation, and free trade. What caused this difference was that, in the USA, cognition filled the gaps in understanding (and law and policy) that sentimental individualism occupied more fully in the UK.

It's not dark humor, it's really not, just a slightly different shade of "what the Hell?" And sometimes, it's a saving grace. Something is going to get all of us, after all. Some people get hit by a bus.
I was raised in a family with a fondness for hyperbole. My father never could seem to say, "I like this because so-and-so," instead he favored "everybody says this is the very finest thing in the world." For stuff he didn't like, the reverse was true, and the object in question became a hideous affront to nature that nobody had any respect for. For instance, my dad who had, after all, been raised in Oklahoma in the thirties, reacted violently to the very idea of the film "Brokeback Mountain." He informed me that he saw no lines of people waiting to see it when it played at our tiny local movie theater and he was convinced that nobody wanted to see it. Anywhere.
So… this is the way I was raised; the house I grew up in was, and still is, full of antique clocks, furniture, and assorted doodads in disparate levels of usefulness. Some are objects of everyday use, such as the round oak kitchen table and the William Morris chair, the one with the carved lion heads. That table has been the center of our conversational circus for as long as I remember, and the chair has been re-upholstered with leather that is now full of tiny puncture holes. The cats discovered it long ago and we refuse them nothing.
The house itself was built in 1910 by a Norwegian man named Conrad Anderson, a man that I never met but feel as though I know personally. His touch is on every part of the house, and the place has a soul of its own. It's a part of the family now, and it's very persuasive in its own, weird way. We can't keep up with it. The house, its inhabitants, and its content all add up to a beautiful disaster. I'm very comfortable there.
The point is this: the most beloved things in my life are bits and pieces of treasure that were constructed with love and skill, and have a real life to live. They're beautiful, but they're not on display – they were made to be used, and to last a long time. These things actively participate in a conversation that goes on for years. Yes I do personify my surroundings, of course I do, I've given names to all the vehicles I've ever owned, and I talk to my instruments. They talk back, and they sing to me. Which brings me to the most lovely guitars I've ever had the pleasure to play.
I've played a lot of guitars in my life. I've avoided playing many beautiful ones, for fear of falling in love. One has to be careful with one's soul around things like that and anyway - my traveling workhorse instrument is a Larrivee OM outfitted with a Fishman matrix that sounds terrific and suits me. It's a very good guitar, and the matrix blender setup helps it to sound warm and authentic even in the most challenging rooms. I'm very happy with my Larrivee and expect to keep using it for years, so I can usually resist the temptation to pick up any creations of other established guitar companies or the many fine independent luthiers. I try to step back and safely admire them all from a distance.
The guitars made in England by Terry Docherty found me though, in a manner of speaking. My friend Wally Bell plays Docherty instruments exclusively, and I play music with Wally, so after spending some time surrounded by citterns, octave mandolins, and guitars all made by the same man, I caved in and accepted the opportunity to play the Docherty "Mistral" model guitar. There had been whisky. My defenses were down. I'm not particularly proud of the fact that I burst into tears when I started playing the Mistral, but there it is; it was so lovely in every possible way that I couldn't help myself.
By now, I've played a few more of Terry Docherty's guitars, and become friends with Terry. It seems that he has a lovely way of living. Apparently he's focused and committed to everything he does, whether he's playing and singing, carrying on a conversation, shopping for dinner, or making instruments. I'm sure this is the deepest reason why the Mistral I finally ordered from him is the most beautiful guitar I've ever had the pleasure of playing. It belongs in this life of mine; it was made with great care and simple elegance, and fits into the surroundings of my home and professional touring life. All treasures there (and clutter too, let's be realistic here) have something to say for themselves. I expect this guitar to be a part of a lifetime musical conversation. I've already recorded with it, written new stuff with it, and played concerts with it. Now I can't WAIT to play it in broader concert settings so that all of you can hear it.
Of course, I'll put some samples online so you can hear it that way, as soon as I make some. But in a live show, I've found that guitar players always come up to me during the break and say, "who made that guitar??"
My own guitar, the Kat Eggleston Mistral, is constructed this way: Back and sides of Indian rosewood, soundboard is European spruce, Fingerboard, bridge and head veneer are made of ebony. The neck is of "big leaf" mahogany. New Zealand Paua shell rosette. There are some gorgeous photos of it on Terry's site. Please do have a look, and listen also to the samples of Terry's playing. I promise your life will be richer for it, as mine is.
Over and Out... 'til next time.
If you happen to be on a mission to find a source of real contention in the music world, try putting five or six songwriters in the same room and throw out questions like these: "Do you think of lyrics as poetry? Do you think the listening public ever hears them that way? Do you approach your work as if you were a poet?" You might throw a creative writing instructor and a few music biz movers and shakers into the mix for added heat, depending on whether you like your arguments mild or extra spicy. Be sure to imply that the writer's answers will place them firmly on a sliding scale ranging from "Sellout" to "Pretentious Navel-Gazer."
There are many artists who have spent time working in the Nashville publishing houses, some that have had a string of hits. You'll get many of these who feel that the common listening public has such a diminished attention span that they have to be approached with soundbites in the form of "hooks," or the content of the song will be over their heads. There will be a dollar figure attached to this judgement. There are others with the same background, the same amount of hits, who will consider themselves serious poets at heart, and happily engage in a fistfight to prove their sensitivity.
The truth is that nothing is entirely pure, and while a song is by definition carried by the human voice, some of them can be translated to the page without diminishing their literary impact. Even in an academic setting, you could go as far back as Robert Burns to successfully illustrate this. But the academic line of thinking has also published books of traditional Scottish ballads without including existing melodic lines, classifying them erroneously as "narrative poetry." This partial truth also aggressively misses the point.
There is no universal answer. Some hits have earned a truckload of money with a string of cliches. As such, they are monetary giants, but they would be laughable if they were transferred to the page of a book or a magazine. Finding examples of that are too easy. I rest my case with "Feelings."
So, while you're enjoying the inevitable knockdown-dragout happening in the room full of musical experts, keep some perspective and remember that there are no easy answers. Songwriting is still writing, with as wide a spectrum of form and character as a novel, a play, or in this case, a true poem.
