Yet I do believe he's one of the youngest people with one of the nimblest minds that I know at present. I can hardly bear to be with him too much, it's so exciting." with the lyrics to the song which Lowenfels composed with Lee Hays "Wasn't That A Time", "Our fathers bled at Valley Forge, / The snow was red with blood, / Their faith was warm at Valley Forge, / Their faith was brotherhood. / Wasnt' that a time / Wasn't that a time / Wasn't that a time / To try men's souls / Wasn't that a terrible time.".

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Having quit the suffocating gentrification of New York and fashioned a new life in Brussels, having out of restlessness and need written WHATEVER COMES MY WAY, a book of travels through The Netherlands, I concluded: One down, why not one to go? So, feeling now was a time to renew my travels - conclude a kind of Benelux duet - put together a similar book on Belgium and Luxembourg, I periodically ventured out, always open to chance. Again, doing it with a difference - being my iconoclastic self. Beyond the stereotypes . getting off the beaten track. Finding out what people were thinking, seeing how one place contrasted with another. For better or worse, my adventurous side had long helped sustain me. I welcomed oddities, strangeness, eccentricities, the absurd; I was open to life's darker face. And appreciated the arts and historical context. I was beyond an observer when it came to drinking, which I considered inherent to my lifestyle. I wasn't hooked on accepted wisdom. My biases were real, though I tried to test them against common sense. I didn't like the bourgeois, common life, though its practitioners could interest, if not amuse me. I liked to laugh. I tossed all that into the mix. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
