The Homebirth Song by Dave Van Manen
zhlédnutí 165Před měsícem
I wrote this song way back when Helene and I were very involved in the homebirth scene. It is not exactly autobiographical but it’s fun to play. Read my recent essay titled “Reflections Of A Homebirth Father” at Substack davevanmanen.substack.com
Peaceful Snowfall at Ranger Dave's Home
zhlédnutí 19Před 7 měsíci
I love snow. I can’t say I like driving in it, but once I learn of an approaching snowstorm, I like anticipating and preparing for its arrival - mostly getting the house well stocked with firewood and the stoves are good to go. I love being out as the first flakes begin to fall - I always imagine Erik Satie’s Gymnopedies as the perfect soundtrack for this part of the storm. I love walking in it...
Acceleration Syndrome by Dave Van Manen
zhlédnutí 1KPřed 2 lety
I wrote this song in the early 90's, inspired by an article in Utne Reader. Entitled "The Acceleration Syndrome", the article spoke to how so many of us are rushed and seem to have so little time, in spite of so many time saving devices. I make reference to some technological devices that now, over 30 years later, sound quaint and outdated. The visuals come from my library of videos and photos ...

Nice job Dave. Stay safe!!
I am enjoying this so much.
crushed it
Super sweet song! My three grandchildren were born at home. I was there. Sacred time. Thanks💛
Thanks very much. It's fun to play. Oh yes, homebirth is such a sacred time. Be well!
Mighty fine pickin sir, is that a 000-15? It’s gorgeous
Why thank you. Yes, it's a 000-15 - a nice fingerpicker.
It’s actually medicinal for liver function.
Why not educate people on how important this weed is for medicinal use
Same question… why dont teach how to use all those seeds and leaves to benefit from
I leave teaching about a plant’s medicinal properties to those that are well versed in that knowledge, as I am not. I have some cursory knowledge of various plants’ medicinal uses, but not enough to feel comfortable writing about them and possibly misleading a reader. I am well aware that many invasive plants have positive qualities, but that doesn’t mean they should be allowed to grow anywhere they land. In the same way that I know that cats can be wonderful pets and bring much pleasure, but that doesn’t mean cats should be allowed everywhere (especially outdoors), as they are terribly deadly to so many birds and other wildlife.
They may have medicinal use, but they will decimate ecosystems that they are not native to. It's very important to identify and remove these types of plants whenever posible.
I adore you, Dave and Helene! Your voices are gifts from heaven, and your talent is amazing! Thank you for sharing your truth and love!
I love these two voices together! You guys will always be in my warmest thoughts.
Beautiful and inspirational!
I love this song so much and the wisdom it conveys
I love this so much So thank you both
I am so pleased that you enjoyed the video. Thanks you Barbara!
Thank you Dave and Helene. Not only a talented pair of musicians, but inspirational people in the way they live their lives.
Thank you so much for these words. You were the one that inspired Dave to make this video....thanks for bringing this song to your Uke group.
You two have the most beautiful voices. I love this video of 2 talented singers who should be highlighted on PBS! If you have a concert, I would love to attend. 💕🎵
Heather that is so nice of you to say so. It's been fun for us to think about how we can share our music through the many ways technology offers now...and Dave enjoyed putting photos from our world to this song which is beloved to us. I really appreciate your words. It means alot.
