Amtrak’s National Train Day 2010 on Saturday May 8 saw celebrations at railroad facilities across the US. Along with activities for the kiddies and a variety of displays and demonstrations, Chicago’s Union Station featured the “Blues Journey”; which told the story of the northward migration from the Mississippi Delta which brought the Blues to Chicago where it was electrified and transformed into today’s modern Blues sound.
To mark the Journey, Big Bill and “Mud” Morganfield…both sons of the great bluesman Muddy Waters…were joined by Bobby Rush on the Legendary City of New Orleans. The train left New Orleans on Friday afternoon May 7…the jam session broke out shortly after the train pulled out of Memphis’ Central Station and went on until the wee hours. After arriving in Chicago, the three musicians performed in Union Station’s Great Hall along with an all-star band including Kenny “Beedy Eyes” Smith (son of Willie “Big Eyes” Smith), Harmonica Hinds and others.
I flew to Memphis on Friday, May 7 and joined the blues train for the ride north. I managed to capture some images along the way during this most memorable journey. I can’t wait to see what Amtrak comes up with for Train Day 2011!
Mud Island in Memphis, Tennessee.
The Mud Island Riverwalk "is an exact scale model of the Lower Mississippi River flowing from its confluence with the Ohio River at Cairo, Illinois 954 miles south to the Gulf of Mexico."

Mud (palude, fango): una voce, una chitarra. Attraverso una loopstation nascono brani inediti e nuovi arrangiamenti di brani più celebri in chiave acustica.
Come fango che mescola acqua e terra, in Mud si mescolano influenze che vengono da tutte le musiche delle periferie e della strada: blues, canzone d'autore, reggae, beatboxing.
Mud è un progetto scritto e suonato da Michele Negrini
O PALÁCIO DE VERSALHES (CHÂTEAU DE VERSAILLES)
O PÁTIO DE MÁRMORE: Luís XIV dotou-o com um pavimento de mármore, um corpo saliente com frontão e colunas. O Pátio é decorado com calçamento, urnas, bustos de mármore e esculturas em abundância. Sob o Relógio, está o Apartamento do Rei Luís XIV. O Relógio em frente ao Pátio de Mármore regulava a vida da corte, mas depois da morte do Rei, ele ficou simbolicamente parado. O Rei Luís XIV morreu aos 77 anos, em 1715.
No lugar de uma modesta cabana de caça com jardins erguida por Luís XIII, seu filho, Luís XIV, em 1668 começa erguer o maior Palácio da Europa, “copiado” em todo o mundo! A Família Real deixa o Palácio do Louvre (atual Museu do Louvre) e muda-se para o Palácio de Versalhes. O Palácio de Versalhes é considerado um dos maiores do mundo, possui 2.153 janelas, 67 escadas, 352 chaminés, 700 quartos, 1.250 lareiras e 700 hectares de parque e mais de 200.000 árvores. Por volta de 1660, os arquitetos Louis Le Vau e Jules Hardouin-Mansart, o paisagista André Le Nôtre e o decorador Charles Le Brun formaram o time da Direção das Artes do Palácio. De 1682 a 1789, Versalhes foi a capital da Monarquia absoluta e tornou-se um símbolo modelado pela vontade do Rei-Sol, onde a luz refletia ouro. Versalhes é uma modesta cidade, pequena aldeia rural à época da sua construção, mas atualmente é um subúrbio de Paris, a 25 km da capital. A Corte de Versalhes foi o centro do poder do Antigo Regime na França, desde 1682, quando Luís XIV se mudou de Paris, até a Família Real ser forçada a voltar à capital em 1789. Surgia assim a Revolução Francesa: Liberté, Égalité et Fraternité! Mas isso já é uma outra história.
NOTA:
O TRATADO DE VERSALHES foi assinado no famoso Salão dos Espelhos do Palácio, em 28 de junho de 1919, encerrando assim a Primeira Guerra Mundial.
Took a walk early this morning, came back to house to see what looked like two huge scary inects on the wall. They didn't seem much to be concerned about me and my iPhone pix although trying to use the Petco Pals thing as a measurement made the one start to move off, and I figured I'd better git. A bit of googling (and verification from FB friend) indicates that they are Mud Dauber Wasps - scary if you're a spider, pretty peaceful about humans. I never actually realized why "wasp waisted" was a thing. They certainly aren't "Murder Hornets."
