The expression as dead as a dodo means completely dead or extinct, it has a touch of Phytonesque about it “this Dodo is completely dead”, ‘Not quite Sir, just resting’.  The last living specimen was seen in 1662 and it is believed that they were no more from 1690.  My old school was refounded in 1652, and as one who sat through a few sermons as the gift of our benefactor and founder it was a long time ago and I am sure that each year a new batch of scholars joins the throngs of those of us who endured an hour long sermon.

I will be much shorter, I promise, I have discovered a Dodo that is very much alive and kicking. It hails from Spain and is Iseo and Dodosound and jolly good they are too. Their album Cat Platoon is available through Bandcamp and is pleasant listening.  I forwarded some music by them on Facebook lastnight and a few people have said how good it was; hence you all now get the benefit.

Tomorrow I start my Drive Time show for 10 Radio which will be fun and I am working on my next Orient Express for Frome FM which will be D-I-Y music such as Iseo and Dodosound and Kawehi and some local Frome Artists and Bands. Charity does begin at home.

And as for the Dodo is is far from dead and is stunning.

Thanks to Iseo and Dodosound for the music and Youtube for the Video
