Mickleton Road
Second in a series of short documentaries about the place that I live. Earlsdon. Mickleton Road is like any other road in Earlsdon with houses that were built between 1901-11. Sometimes standing watching the ordinary can be out of the ordinary, life is surreal. Maybe it is sign of my misspent youth.

George Shearing - Lullaby Of Birdland
Watch the full concert:
Sir George Shearing, (13 August 1919 – 14 February 2011) was a British jazz pianist who for many years led a popular jazz group that recorded for Discovery Records, MGM Records and Capitol Records. The composer of over 300 titles, including the jazz standard Lullaby of Birdland, had multiple albums on the Billboard charts during the 1950s, 1960s, 1980s and 1990s. He died of heart failure in New York City, at the age of 91.
Born in Battersea, London, Shearing was the youngest of nine children. He was born blind to working class parents: his father delivered coal and his mother cleaned trains in the evening. He started to learn piano at the age of three and began formal training at Linden Lodge School for the Blind, where he spent four years.
Though he was offered several scholarships, Shearing opted to perform at a local pub, the Mason's Arms in Lambeth, for 25 bob a week playing piano and accordion. He joined an all-blind band during that time and was influenced by the records of Teddy Wilson and Fats Waller. Shearing made his first BBC radio broadcast during this time after befriending Leonard Feather, with whom he started recording in 1937. In 1940, Shearing joined Harry Parry's popular band and contributed to the comeback of Stéphane Grappelli. [...]
In 1947, Shearing emigrated to the United States, where his harmonically complex style mixing swing, bop and modern classical influences gained popularity. One of his first performances in the US was at the Hickory House. He performed with the Oscar Pettiford Trio and led a jazz quartet with Buddy DeFranco, which led to contractual problems, since Shearing was under contract to MGM and DeFranco to Capitol Records. In 1949, he formed the first George Shearing Quintet, a band with Margie Hyams (vibraphone), Chuck Wayne (guitar), later replaced by Toots Thielemans (listed as John Tillman), John Levy (bass) and Denzil Best (drums) and recorded for Discovery, Savoy and MGM, including the immensely popular single September in the Rain (MGM), which sold over 900,000 copies; my other hit to accompany Lullaby of Birdland. [...]
Shearing's interest in classical music resulted in some performances with concert orchestras in the 1950s and 1960s, and his solos frequently drew upon the music of Satie, Delius and Debussy for inspiration. He became known for a piano technique known as Shearing's voicing, a type of double melody block chord, with an additional fifth part that doubles the melody an octave lower. (This style is also known as locked hands and the jazz organist Milt Buckner is generally credited with inventing it.) In 1956, Shearing became a naturalized citizen of the United States. He continued to play with his quintet, with augmented players through the years, and recorded with Capitol until 1969. [...]
In 1970, he began to phase out his by-now-predictable quintet and disbanded the group in 1978. One of his more notable albums during this period was The Reunion, with George Shearing (Verve 1976), made in collaboration with bassist Andy Simpkins and drummer Rusty Jones, and featuring Stéphane Grappelli, the musician with whom he had debuted as a sideman decades before. Later, Shearing played with a trio, as a soloist and increasingly in a duo. Among his collaborations were sets with the Montgomery Brothers, Marian McPartland, Brian Q. Torff, Jim Hall, Hank Jones and Kenny Davern. In 1979, Shearing signed with Concord Records, and recorded for the label with Mel Tormé. This collaboration garnered Shearing and Tormé two Grammys, one in 1983 and another in 1984. Shearing remained fit and active well into his later years and continued to perform, even after being honoured with an Ivor Novello Lifetime Achievement Award in 1993. He never forgot his native country and, in his last years, would split his year between living in New York and Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, UK, where he had bought a house with his second wife, singer Ellie Geffert. This gave him the opportunity to tour the UK, giving concerts, often with Tormé, backed by the BBC Big Band. He was appointed OBE in 1996. In 2007, he was knighted. So, he noted later, the poor, blind kid from Battersea became Sir George Shearing. Now that's a fairy tale come true.
In 2004, he released his memoirs, Lullaby of Birdland, which was accompanied by a double-album musical autobiography, Lullabies of Birdland. Shortly afterwards, however, he suffered a fall at his home and retired from regular performing.

23. Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, May 2019
This was a fantastic 10 mile clockwise walk from Winchcombe in the Cotswolds. It was an easy to follow route as for the most part it followed well marked footpaths, including the Cotswold Way, the Winchcombe Way and the Wardens Way. We passed a couple of places of historical interest, Hailes Abbey and Sudeley Castle. Winchcombe is a very popular town with walkers and it is easy to see why. This was a lovely walk, although Sam felt that at times we were walking along too many enclosed lanes obscuring the views! To follow this walk, you will need OS Explorer OL45.

Mickleton House Garden Room
Mickleton House was the UK home of my spiritual family - The Emissaries of Divine Light. It ran as a Spiritual Community from 1979 - 2003 and hosted many gatherings, conferences and workshops, not only of Emissaries but also of other groups as well, and was well loved for it's refined atmosphere, warm welcome and delicious home cooking.
This short video indicates the location of Mickleton on Google Earth, and hints at an 'Earth Star' which connects Mickleton to Glastonbury, Liss in Hampshire. (Liss being the location of the Temple of the White Eagle Lodge) and centres on Barbury Castle near Marlborough. You will see the gorgeous Garden Room that we built there for meetings - complete with pyramid roof-light and the Grass Labyrinth established by Anja Saunders.
Many people passed through the doors of Mickleton House during those years and left deeply touched - some changed forever!
Nearby is Meon Hill, and ancient Iron Age Hill-fort with stories of witchcraft. Passing through the village is The Heart of England Way.
