The Grandeur of Ghosts by Siegfried Sassoon
When I have heard small talk about great men
I light my two candles; climb to bed; then
Consider what was said; and put aside
What Such-a-one remarked, and Someone-else replied.
They have spoken lightly of my deathless friends,
(Lamps for my gloom, hands guiding where I stumble,)
Quoting, for shallow conversational ends,
What Shelley shrilled, what Blake once wildly muttered…
How can they use such names and be not humble ?
I have sat silent; angry at what they uttered.
The dead bequeathed them life; the dead have said
What these can only memorise and mumble.

Monday February 12th was International Epilepsy Day. I have two types of epilepsy, photosensitive – in my case affected both by light, and certain types of sounds – and atonic (my muscles suddenly lose contraction and I fall or things slip from my hands). For many people with epilepsy the condition is like traversing mountains and Valleys. In my case that happens mostly with photosensitive epilepsy.
Through mountains and valleys is also, literally, what me and my friend Matt do. Me when walking up and down the more, or less, urbanized areas of Porto – Porto is at the end of a mountain range. Matt lives in Los Angeles and if often at places like Laurel Canyon where, in the 60s and 70s, many musicians lived at, including Neil Young who has epilepsy.
The songs selected for the programme comprise those from musicians with epilepsy as well as those from bands and artists that lived at Laurel Canyon
