about

Calm returns to the sonic landscape and the Piano introduces Stanley the ghillie to the Location Recording. A key change gradually introduces the rest of the Orchestra whose function is to echo the warmth, colour and promise of the radiant sunrise and Stanley’s unique work environment.
For Stanley Pelc - Ghillie, Tenor Saxophonist and Brother in wit and wisdom.

lyrics

Another fisher watched the bird from a spot, a hundred yards upstream, at the foot of a giant oak tree.
He smiled at the scene before him.
The Heron was lit up by the advancing light, its silhouette magnified by the sparkling water.
The sun had arrived and Stanley the Ghillie dusted himself down, stood up and silently moved to his boat. He was the grand old man of the beat. He
This last twenty years, he had come back to this particular beat, purely because of its beauty. Without doubt it was one of the bonniest of all beats on the River Tay.
Rich Anglers travelled from all over the world and paid small fortunes for a few days Salmon fishing on the Tay and Stanley had it in his careful charge all year round !. It was not, however, the most productive. In fact, the last season had yielded only 71 fish and so far this season, there had only been 17 salmon taken.
Everyone was worried.
Guests were returning from their days on the river empty-handed, and regardless of the reasons, it was bad for business.
Stanley, however, was fishing for himself this morning.
He had bided his time, quietly on the bank, watching the Heron arrive with the dawn and listening to th
In the darkness he had heard his quarry splash loudly.
He knew by the volume of the splash that it was a big fish.
He also knew, that now the rain had gone, the salmon would probably become a resident of the pool until night came with more rain.
The conditions were perfect and coupled with the warmth that the dawn had filled him with, he was confident he would connect with the fish.
He climbed into the boat, started its engine and prepared to fish the Rock Pool.
