The Curfew Tower of Windsor Castle

Back in the early 1970s I knew the old guide at the Curfew Tower of Windsor Castle. He was called George Hudson. From around the ages of 13 - 16  I used to help him with the second floor of the Tower itself as an unofficial guide. The history of this building was surprisingly interesting, and quite often tourists would miss out on not visiting it. Among other things, it is the home of the "small" dungeons where beehive shaped stone cells can still be seen. One poor prisoner tried to make a hole in one of them but was unfortunately caught as he emerged through the guard room of the Curfew Tower. Nowadays, the dungeons are used for social occasions! What follows is a listed, and "potted" description of the Curfew Tower. Here, I am largely relying on memory. I may check for accuracy at some later date... The Guard Room/The "First Floor" (excluding the dungeons which could be seen as being the "basement"). This was also the place where the ...

living in Windsor

  From about 1962 to 1977 I lived in a house  at 74 King's Road, Windsor. It was set behind some grand old buildings overlooking the Long Walk. It was situated in an exclusive area.  A narrow drive just off King's Road itself led to not just 74 but also to number 76. Both the houses were apparently designed in a very modern style for their time by an architect who lived at the latter. His name was Edward Whiteley. His wife was called Beryl...  Sometimes, I would read books aloud to her outside her front door. She notably introduced me to Alice In Wonderland, and Alice Through The Looking Glass. I introduced her to the comic world of Catweazle which was a well-known TV series. I read the book based on it to her, and she was much taken by it. Infact, I actually met Richard Carpenter the author of Catweazle via the Puffin Club, and even got his autograph which I treasured. We hardly saw Edward Whiteley. Indeed, we used to call him Red Ted as we thoug...

The Music of the Voice

-
  The following article is my initial research into using the voice like a musical instrument. Sometimes, I use it when I do my improvised and non-improvised quality musical whistling which I am so well-known in Slough. Some test  recordings can be found on my Facebook site.  RS The following is a short article on the subject below. It appeared a long while ago on the p2pfoundation  site. RS Improvised Voice Instrumental Music Jump to navigation Jump to search Description Project by Robert Searle This entry is concerned with the possible development of Improvised Voice Instrumental Music, which can also be more simply referred to as Vocal Music. Essentially, it involves the use of the human voice to imitate musical instruments realistically but at the same time producing new compositions spontaneously (ie. improvised, impromptu/on the spot pieces). This latter feature distinguishes it from ordinary non-improvised melodious, and "non-melodious" Voice Instrumental Musi...
