Roger Collis

I have just finished the recording/editing/mixing of ‘Roger Collis reads from the King James Bible with Kirsty Anderson (Celtic harp),’ a 62-minute CD. I am hoping that the CD all packaged up in its ‘jewel case’ will be ready by the end of February.

Here are some pre-production reviews of the master CD:

‘I am listening to the CD as I write while working in the flat. This is WONDERFUL. Everything heard so far is great – but your readings of the Prologue to John and the opening lines of Hebrews are just GLORIOUS. ELATING to listen to. And I love the contrast of the harp. Its arrival following and preceding several passages is breathtaking; your voice superb as a vehicle for theology and narrative alike. I use the term advisedly in most Jewish sense – this is a great blessing. Inshallah, there will be other volumes.’

Father Paul Johnstone, chaplain, Royal Alexandra & Albert School, Gatton, Surrey.

‘C’est boulversant! J’ai pleuré. C’est tellement beau. Ta voix est parfaite, chaque fois l’intonnation juste, l’émotion juste, le ressenti vrai du coeur et pour la 1ère fois grâce à toi je comprends les messages de la Bible!!!! C’est d’une puissance et d’une justesse incroyable.’

Imogen Roulet, lecturer Lausanne University & management coach.

 ‘A v quick few dips – I’ll listen more carefully later. But I think it’s fabulous. So does Marcelle. Congratulations!’
Eric Clark, author and journalist.

The frustrating thing is that I am constantly coming up with new ’survival’ recipes that I could/should have included in the book.

Never mind. The message of the book is that fast food does not necessarily mean junk food (food  can be junk at any speed); that for anyone living alone, eating well can be easy and fun.

Have a look; post a comment or a review.

Consider what happened on June 16, 2011

One of our most experienced Captains – with over 30 years of experience, thousands of hours of flight time and a degree in Aviation Safety – was in the cockpit, about to embark on a 3,000 mile trans-Atlantic overnight flight.

When pushing back from the gate, the auxiliary power unit (a backup source of electrical power) and the Hot Battery Bus (a critical source of primary electrical power) both failed – in other words, the plane had no electrical power and no radio communications. None. Click here

US Airline Pilots Association Calls for Termination of US Airways Vice President of Safety and Regulatory Compliance Paul Morell

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – May 9, 2011 – After numerous lapses in safety protocols at US Airways recently, the Board of Pilot Representatives of the US Airline Pilots Association (USAPA), which represents the airline’s pilots, has unanimously called for the immediate termination of the ranking official in charge of airline safety, Vice President of Safety and Regulatory Compliance Paul Morell. 

“Mr. Morell has repeatedly ignored USAPA’s concerns about the safety of our airline and has shown no leadership in remedying potentially catastrophic situations that face our pilots,” said Captain Mike Cleary, president of USAPA. “As such, we have asked the Company’s leadership and the Board of Directors to act quickly and decisively to terminate his employment at US Airways.”  Click here

I earnestly suggest that you go to www.bbciplayer.co.uk and go to the ‘Paul Robeson files,’ a one-hour documentary on BBC Radio 2, to rediscover his marvelous voice and his battle for true ‘Freedom and Democracy’ against the United States government.    The FBI took away his passport, his freedom… But they could not suppress his voice and his spirit. Robeson died in 1974 at the age of 77.  He was an inspiration for us all in our present tremulous times…
