Two weeks in NOLA for the mardi gras 2017
Founded in 1993, the Krewe of Orpheus takes its name from the musically-inclined son of Zeus and Calliope. Founding members included Harry Connick, both the junior and senior.
In New Orleans, the krewe established themselves as a superkrewe with their first parade in 1994, which rolled with 700 riders. They were the first super Krewe to allow both male and female riders.
The Krewe's throws include a number of popular items including emblem beads, stuffed animals, signature beads, light-up Orpheus medallion beads, cups, three different types of doubloons, and 4-foot-long stuffed dragons.
They have a number of notable floats including the Dolly Trolley, the horse-drawn bus that was used in the opening of Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand, the Smoking Mary which is a six unit float that looks like a steam locomotive, a Trojan horse and the Orpheus Leviathan Float, which is a three unit, 139-foot float, and the first Carnival float to use extensive fiber optic lighting.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Fats Domino wass the honorary grand marshall for 2014. His eldest son, Antoine Domino III, rode in the parade and perform his 85 year old father's music.
In addition to Fats Domino, Quentin Tarantino reigned as the krewe's celebrity monarch.

For Musically Challenged
Today was the longest day EVER! Not sure if it had to do with not having my morning cuban coffee shot b/c I was in an eternal-feeling training class at another building. Anyway, 2 more days left, and then the weekend is here again!

Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
Wow!!!
The day started musically, with refreshing water sound play, as the basics of Music.
Shape Hopscotch: an educative way to improve on their fine motor skills, gave a wonderful learning experience.
Wall number game for numeracy was also exciting.
To enhance their literacy skills, they sorted out phonics by sending phonic mails.
Archeologist!! Archeology!!
Yes… at White Fields Nursery, archeologists were busy digging up old remains of dinosaurs and insects.
Kids enjoyed Water play, during which they had to search for the sea animals in their own little sea.
They enjoyed the ring game and painting activities, and also had a great time learning about number 4 and counting with pom poms.
During outdoor game, kids played a "hit the target" game.
The day ended with a balloon tennis game.
A day to explore and to enjoy…

Be my blind.
Be it all the time.
Be it night or day,
Take my sun away, away.
Levolor, which of us is blind?
Levolor, left me in the dark.
Levolor, I can't see a thing but you,
Is it morning?
Blind me please,
I am on my hands and knees.
I can only pray,
Take my sun away, away.
Levolor, which of us is blind?
Levolor, left me in the dark.
Levolor, I can't see a thing but you,
Is it morning?

There's no time for us. There's no place for us.
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away from us?
Who wants to live forever?....
... not me if I have to hang out with dusty manequins and drink stinky, sulfer water from a dixie cup every day... especially water that comes out of a pipe that pours into an ominous concrete hole in the floor that's adorned with silk flowers...

From my diary:
This was the first time I'd been to a "Musically Speaking" show at the Symphony - this is where the conductor talks about each of the pieces before hand. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. Especially the part where he has the symphony play excerpts to demonstrate. On the one hand it can be very educational. On the other, having a symphony orchestra play excerpts - yuck! Seems to me like their time is much more precious than that. I also think it sets up too much of an informal mood (not that I didn't enjoy the conductors jokes, some unintentional it seemed) - I don't think they players were at their usual level.
First were two pieces by Brazilian composers. The first (Passacaglia for the New Millenium by Krieger) was very odd - there were parts I enjoyed but it was difficult to stay with it. The second, Bachianas Brasileiras No. 4 by Villa-Lobos, was a bit more engaging. I liked the second movement the best. After the intermission was Pictures.... I had a hard time to keep from comparing it to the organ version I love so much. Even now, I can't help thinking it just didn't live up. I think partly it's Ravel's orchestration - some of the more potent moments just seem to fall flat. What I wouldn't give to see Jean Guillou play it. I see he has a website, too bad it is in French. I'll have to keep my eye on that.

being alone it can be quite romantic
like jacques cousteau underneath the atlantic
a fantastic voyage to parts unknown
going to depths where the sun’s never shone
and i fascinate myself when i’m alone
Lull by Andrew Bird
I feel alot better today, thanks everyone who commented about Bear. He was a good pet. Kit is doing great, he's playing and shows no sign of depression, but it may be too soon to tell. I'll keep you all posted.

Monthly Challenge & Feb ABCs: B is for Beautiful
Musically Challenged: Lull by Andrew Bird - this is such a beautiful song. I might redo this one again.
Take me out to the Ballgame
Take me out to the ball game
Take me out to the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks
I don't care if I ever get back,
'Cause it's root, root, root
For the home team.
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes
You're out
At the old ball game.
184/ 365 Spinning tunes over in Musically Challenged and this week I am the maestro. Check this group out Musically Challenged ...super talented photographers with great musical choices!

Soul Suckers - Amos Lee
Does it make you feel good,
when they tell you what you want to hear?
And after they suck all your soul,
well that's when they'll disappear.
Disappear.
They disappear forever.....
Like a prince in your little fairy tale.
And you will find,
one day you put you soul on sale..
Nothing could be further from the truth,
my love..
And nothing is more powerful than beauty in a wicked world.
In 2007 I wasn't in the best place musically. I had been working in the music industry since 2000. I'd been exposed to countless mediocre and even more terrible bands. I felt like I hadn't heard too much to really excite me in such a long time. Frankly, I was completely burned out on music. Aside from the occasional John Reis project, I was just kind of over everything. The Statues fixed that.
I heard of the record New People Make Us Nervous from a friend of mine named Omar who lived in Montreal. We both came up on some of the same awesome Canadian power pop punk bands and he assured me that I would dig this band called Statues. I emailed the band and bought a copy from them. I was totally blown away.
This band played such incredibly catchy music. They had ridiculous energy and hooks for days. I was enthralled. I told everyone I knew about this band. I started hunting down every crazy variant of every crazy record. I just couldn't get enough. Sadly, Statues recently played their last show up in Canada. I never got the chance to see them play live, which is a crime. Though I didn't like their most recent full length, Holiday Cops, anywhere near as much as New People Make Us Nervous, I will never forget how that record opened up my eyes and reminded me that even though I'm getting older, there is still new music worth listening to.

The Who - #45/52 for my Musically Inspired set
"Layin' on my back
In the newly mown grass.
Rain is coming down,
But I know the clouds will pass.
You bring me tea,
Say "the babe's a-sleepin'".
Lay down beside me.
... I finally got around to making a photo for this song. I had bigger plans for how I was going to do it (like a backlit sprinkler making the 'rain') but glad I got the song into the set all the same. With 7 more images to go, there are a few songs I had plans for but they just won't get in...
John Paul Young - #12/52 for my Musically Inspired set lyrics
In the whisper of the trees.
Love is in the air,
In the thunder of the sea...
Sherry gets the credit for spotting this heart shaped branch/vine... Someday I'll be able to catch a good sunset behind it, but the weather has not cooperated the last few days...

I am so musically-challenged. I can't play an instrument, can't sing, and can't dance, but I do love music. I'm so in awe of those people who are musically gifted.

For Shannon Jax's week on Musically Challenged..
I love this kind of atmospheric, jazzy, sexy groove, where the message isn't too profound, and the music is simple and lets your mind wander where it will. Mine was wandering back to the summer, after having stood and watched the gas pump fill the tank ever so slowly this evening. I had to get gas tonight, but the wind was whipping and the temperature was a wet 30 degrees and dropping fast. And I was thinking about how pleasant it was to fill the tank at night in the summer, with a warm breeze wafting through the night - instead of this lashing, stinging wind...
I brought you some something close to me
And left with something new
I can see through your head
You haunt my dreams
But theres nothing to do but believe
Just believe
Just breathe
Another day
Just believe
Another day
Just breathe
Another day
Just believe
Another day
Just breathe
I’m used to it by now
When I was young, I just loved the melody... But now as I read the lyrics - I have some perspective on exactly what they are saying. That as I revisit the places that stir memories of the people I've known and loved - as I hold those memories dear - that I will remember that "I love you more"... What a great message to keep in mind. The past has a tendency to take on a gloss that hides all the bad parts, and can make you forget why they are in the past. Something caused us to make the decisions we've made that brought us to where we are - and it's a wise man who appreciates the one he's with now.. I know I do...
There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
there is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more
