Kite Flying Music |

OK - so I'm a blatant softie, but there's not a lot I like better than jamming on the headphones, slipping in a cassette of smooth music, and flying a big, beautiful kite by the water's edge, to wipe away the cares of the day. My favourite artist is Enya, favourite album is Watermark, closely followed by Shepherd Moon
I used to have a great bit of software - Midisoft Recording Session - back in the "old days" when I ran on Win 95, and then 98, with an 8-bit sound card, and I used to mess about with MIDI files, copying music scores into the PC, and enjoying the rather simple results. Now i've "moved on" (I hesitate to say "moved up") to Win XP and a P3, I cannot run that old stuff any more. Anyway, what's the point in trying to re-invent the wheel, when there is so much good music about?
Here is a link to something far better than I'll ever aspire to - a poem called High_Flight - also known as"The Aviator's Poem" - which I think is just as valid for kiters. It was written in haste by a young pilot in the Battle of Britain, when he was only 19 years old, full of the fierce joy of flying Spitfires, and did not expect to live much longer. Prophetic & moving.
