The woman back home in the Weight was written by Robbie Robertson as Fannie, but almost everyone sings it as Annie. There is no way to tell the difference when you sing "offfannie". It is interesting that the version in the movie Easy Rider was not done by The Band, due to copyright issues. It was a cover by a lesser known group, "Smith".

"Nyepi" is the day of silence celebrated in Bali, Indonesia....one of my favourite places in the world. Nyepi is about casting out the spirits of the past year and celebrating the new year - but this is done in a ritual silence.

Bali is a place of ceremony. Every life event, a funeral, a marriage, a baby christening.....the entire village will turn out and there will be music, singing, dancing and much beautiful ceremony.

This song takes me back there!!!

 

(And the beautiful lyrics are like my daily affirmations)
