Remembering Dr. George Blake
Dr. B. George Blake
(1922 - 2018)
In Memoriam
Recipient of the 2014 African Canadian Lifetime Achievement Award
Meteorologist
Buddhist Monk
Psychologist
Storyteller
Drummer
Author
For the past three decades many people knew Dr. George Blake as a storyteller, having founded the Durham Folklore Society, however, when one looks back at the trajectory of his life, perhaps the greatest story of all is the one of George’s own life.
Born Buxton George Leopold Blake in 1922, George led a rather conventional
village life in Green Island, Jamaica until at age 18 he enlisted and found himself on the RMS Queen Elizabeth heading to England to join the Royal Air Force. He was stationed on the home front as a meteorologist in northern Scotland. After the war, George, having turned down a university scholarship, decided to work as a government clerk in London. He grew restless feeling he had a higher calling and after reading a book on Buddhism, which told him he was responsible for his own mental, spiritual and psychological health, would study and eventually become ordained a samanera (novice monk) at the Sinhalese Centre in London. He received his full ordination as a Theravadan Buddhist Monk at the Wat Paknam Temple in Bangkok, Thailand in 1956.
George then decided it was time to work on a degree in psychology at the
University of Edinburgh. He would find work in a mental health ward in London and eventually return to Scotland to train in clinical psychology at the University of Glasgow where he became renowned for treating alcoholism. One can’t help but think that his Buddhist teachings informed his successful behaviour therapy techniques helping patients overcome habits and fears.
1966 found a married George moving to Whitby, Ontario by invitation of York University in Toronto to teach and this led to his work at the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital (now Ontario Shores). This in turn would lead to his founding of the Pinewood Centre for Addiction in Oshawa and the Alexandra Clinic at the Oshawa General Hospital.
Upon ‘retirement’, George returned to his Buddhist studies and even taught courses on Buddhist meditation. Always a great raconteur, George founded the Durham Folklore Society, which continues to celebrate the oral tradition of
storytelling nearly three decades later. (They are now known as the Durham
Storytellers.) He was an accomplished drummer and drum maker and combined his African/Caribbean stories with the Buddhist legends he learned known as Jataka Tales in another ensemble known as Kalalu Folklore Theatre.
The storytelling and music would all come together and George shared his many talents at various venues including schools, libraries, Durham Art Fest and festivals across Canada including Toronto’s Festival of Storytelling Listen Up!
George was also an author and wrote The Legend of Harriet Tubman; Kaipora Cove; A Buddhist Approach to Managing Stage Fright; A Buddhist Odyssey
(A Manual on Meditation) and Bypassing Ego: The Buddhist Way.
George leaves two sons and two grandchildren and a unique legacy as a man who saw life as a journey and a quest for inner harmony and delighted in sharing his stories and wisdom with the world.

Summary: We staged this one-day Barnstormer show on 4th of July, 2010. It was the same weekend as the 80/35 Fest in Des Moines and because of contractual obligations, we had to keep quiet about our secret headliner because they were also playing that festival. So no one knew that The Walkmen were playing until they showed up. At the time, this was the biggest crowd that we'd ever had for a Barnstormer event. Dawes, Justin Townes Earle, Jonny Corndawg, These United States and Young Man all played and we decorated Codfish Hollow with red, white and blue bunting. There was a big and short thunderstorm that struck in the middle of the show, but otherwise a great, hot day and night that forced Corndawg to shave his head.

Alan Wilson Historian - The Hidden History of Britain
Turn on captions for English subtitles.
Alan Wilson is a British historian specialising in the origins and ancient history of the British and the history of the ancient British kings including two real King Arthurs.
Arthurian research:
In 1976, after a chance meeting with historical researcher, Anthony Thomas 'Baram' Blackett, at the public library in Newcastle upon Tyne, the two men decided to put up many thousands of pounds of their own money to fund full-time research into the origins of King Arthur. The Arthurian stories, so popular today, came out of South-Eastern Wales into France, via the Normans, in the 12th century and this encouraged them to start their search in the same place. The search soon moved beyond Wales to include the English Midlands which had been dominated by the old Welsh Kingdoms for centuries.
To date, Wilson and Blackett have published seven books that provide information based upon Old Welsh records that date to the 12th Century. They believe that these provide a final solution to the King Arthur story and have clearly identified the true sites of the battles of Badon (Mynydd Baedan) and Camlann.
In 1983, Wilson and Blackett discovered what they believe to be King Arthur's memorial stone at the small ruined church of St Peter-super-Montem on Mynydd-y-Gaer in Mid-Glamorgan, which they subsequently purchased. The stone was offered to the National Museum of Wales (Amguedda Werin Cymru) for analysis, but the offer was not taken up. Subsequently it went on public display in various venues for some time. Following this, they employed the services of two archaeologists, (Professor Eric Talbot and Alan Wishart) in 1990, to lead a dig at the same place. During the excavations, which were authorised by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales, several artefacts were discovered including an ancient axe, a knife and a small cross weighing two and a half pounds, that reads Pro Anima Artorius (For The Soul Of Arthur). The cross was subsequently tested by an independent metallurgical house, Bodycote PLC, and found to be made of electrum, and so certified. The cross was offered up to the National Museum of Wales for public testing, but this also was declined.Wilson and Blackett had already identified the church as an ancient historical site possibly originally dating from the first century A.D. Other major Welsh kings are buried locally.
More recently, Wilson and Blackett began a search for what was known as 'The Greatest Work of the Cymru' - Cyfrangon. This is allegedly a massive, hollow, man-made hill concealed somewhere in Wales (similar to Silbury Hill). Treasure hunters in Wales have long sought this fabled hill in which, it is believed, lie several objects of tremendous historical and archaeological value, many of which may be covered in gold or copper.
The use of deep ground probing metal detection and analysis equipment revealed non ferrous metal artefacts some fifteen feet below the surface of the hill at Twyn y Glog, near Ynysybwl in mid Glamorgan. Further investigation by collaborators proved that the original height of the hill lies some 30 or more metres below the Ordnance Survey height, and that the hill is therefore an artificial construct. (Berkly, G., 2007).
No further tests have been made to date (10 September 2007).
Lecture tours:
Alan Wilson and his colleague lectured extensively in the United Kingdom, including Manchester and Jesus College at the University of Oxford, and Alan Wilson gave the prestigious Bemis Lecture in Boston in 1993. Research into claims that the Welsh settled in mid-western America in antiquity led to Wilson and his colleague, Baram Blackett, accepting invitations from American supporters to visit US sites of historical significance in 1994. The visit led to several television appearances and the deciphering of alphabetic inscriptions claimed to be in the old 'Coelbren' alphabet. Wilson also concluded that the many snake mounds in the American Mid-west were of ancient Khumric-British construction. Whilst in America, the two men were also commissioned to produce a detailed genealogy for the Bush family (friends and supporters of President George H. W. Bush).

I'm In Love With This Sailor Girl! Sailing SV Delos Ep. 46
With nothing to do and no place to be we found ourselves drifting through the amazingly beautiful El Nido. We found an incredible island where our days blended into weeks. We explored the sights and did a bit of diving before heading south for Puerto Princessa. We got caught in a squall, our anchor chain snagged on a coral bommie, and he had one hell of a sail.
