So, I went to the Beacon Theater box office to see if I could find any decent (semi-affordable?) tickets for the Jethro Tull "70" concert in November.... Short version: No tickets left in-house, only VERY expensive 'platinum' tickets online... But he said that if I check the week before, some of the big block-buyers return what they can't use. I live nearby, so... We'll see.....

We'll see...

One more great taste of Little Feat!

"Juliette" - Live, May 23, 1975 at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, Georgia

I may have posted this somewhere in a thread but only know totally focused on it, watching, listening, & getting context....
I know I mentioned this in passing, one of the great songs of the more instrumental/jazz flavored versions, similar to how Jethro Tull had a "classic" bent as well as straight-ahead rock.

So this video was made in 2021 (but I sure missed it!) and it is the best take I've ever heard of this song live.
Incredible performance, blazing , and decent audio for way back when and now via YouTube. (Imagine a fatter bass). The guitars! đŸ”„
And the kicker: Watch the video! LOL....

Great video, great song, great performance here, by a great band.

THE STONE OF DESTINY

Stone of Scone, also called Stone of Destiny, Scottish Gaelic Lia Fail, stone that for centuries was associated with the crowning of Scottish kings and then, in 1296, was taken to England and later placed under the Coronation Chair.

Legend. Various theories and legends exist about the stone’s history prior to its placement in Scone. One story concerns Fergus, son of Erc, the first King of the Scots (c.  498 – 501) in Scotland, whose transport of the Stone from Ireland to Argyll, where he was crowned on it, was recorded in a 15th-century chronicle. Some versions identify the stone brought by Fergus with the Lia Fáil (Irish for “stone of destiny”) used at Tara for inaugurating the High Kings of Ireland. Other traditions contend that the Lia Fáil remains at Tara. (Inis Fáil, “The Island of Destiny”, is one of the traditional names of Ireland.) Other legends place the origins of the Stone in Biblical times and identify it as the Stone of Jacob, taken by Jacob from Bethel while on the way to Haran (Genesis 28:10–22). This very same Stone of Jacob was then supposedly taken to ancient Ireland by the prophet Jeremiah.

Oh. How we love our legends and rituals.

### Tricolor Strut

A confluence of funny ways the universe of thoughts and sounds collide.
The photograph (#myphoto) is from my recent visit to Myakka River State Park.

I posted some sad stories of the devastation wrought by the destruction of the weir and then Hurricane Ian.
Trees, river, torn away. My favorite birds mostly gone, save the wonderful limpkin. And the gators in their shrunken river.

I'm now sifting through images from camera via card via computer, and here's one I forgot about, another happy bit of nature recovering from devastation, especially in springtime, nesting season. This is a tricolor heron seeming to be doing well, "doing the tricolor strut".

Well, there aren't many "Tricolor Heron Strut"s around, but somehow out of my dim & distance past, I recalled this song, still quite tasty. Wow. Seafood, too. Have a listen to the great #JormaKaukonen and #JackCasady #legends Good week.
