youtu.be/iZJlz_GRpGo - Toots And The Maytals with Bootsy Collins and The Roots Funky Kingston

"The secret to walkin´ on water is knowing where the rocks are."

Bootsy Collins

In Winnipeg, Manitoba. I did a little digging...Since the mid-1950s, the cut-out of a bull, Rockwood Romarnuk, was on the front of the barn at Riverbend Dairy Farm (R. George Gobert & Sons) on St. Mary’s Road in St. Vital. Thanks to Glenn "Bootsy" Rand of Main Branch Tree Service, the weathered piece of history now has a new home at the St. Vital Museum. The real Rockwood Romarnuk won first place at the 1954 Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, organizers say. There are newspaper articles dating back to 1935 and 1938, giving details about the farm - complaints about easements, a visit from the St.Vital Dairy Calf Club. Mr. Gobert passed in 2012, he spent his whole life on the farm, which ceased operations as a dairy farm in 1975, but which was a grain farm until 2008, when he retired. While I was on the property an older lady was leaving in her truck, she stopped and I mentioned I thought the building was beautiful. She said she thought it was rather ugly. I don't know if that is his widow, but she was certainly around the right age. I think I'll stop in again. I'm intrigued.

Boney Fields nació en 1958 en Chicago donde creció junto con sus hermanos rodeado de un gran ambiente musical. Fue viendo a grandes artistas como Louis Armstrong o James Brown en televisión cuando decidión dedicarse a la música. En 1979 comenzó su carrera profesional trabajando con diferentes bandas de funk y jazz. Sus influencias musicales más importantes han sido James Brown and the JB’s, Earth Wind & Fire y Bootsy Collins por el lado funk y Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis o Clifford Brown por el Jazz.

 

En 1985 comenzó a tocar en The James Cotton Blues Band como director de la sección de vientos. También ha realizado giras internacionales con grandes artistas como Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, AC Reed, Eddie Clearwater, Valerie.

 

Actualmente está afincado en Paris llevando a cabo su proyecto musical llamado The Bones’ Project. Con un artista encima del escenario como Boney Fields el espectáculo está asegurado.

always get me...down

Thought I would pop by for a little #MacroMonday shot. I have a new camera and a new logo. Both reflect more about who and where I am in photography these days. We lost our precious Bootsy Cat this weekend. So, tried to distract myself by taking the mirrorless out for a spin. I am truly an old dog who does not want to learn new tricks. Even if they are great tricks. Even if they are ridiculously awesome tricks - haha. But my D800 (*The Beast) is truly edging close to dinosaur status. So, I will force myself one click at a time to the New World. Take care, ya'll ~ and if you have a macro you'd like to share - feel free to post in the comments:)

Be Apes' Bootsy found a girlfriend. Black haired Lulu. They decide to have a Bed-In for promoting peace in the world and peace in the hard recording work. Fans and friends were thinking they would be talking about this Simian peace thing but Bootsy was just snoring.

 

Toy Tuesday & Thursday: B !

Beatles, bed-in, bootsy, black haired, bed, bed peace

Sunday showers made me dig them out. They stopped traffic!!!

The chain is actually 2 feet in front of the mouse.

 

I Wanted to come back to this one and sharpen it up. They painted the entire section of this building white this week and removed the chain

Another Chihuahua owned by a friend

I had a friend's dog "Bootsy" at my place for 5 days. I couldn't get one clear shot of her, she never stopped still to get a photo. Mercedes Ruled it over her and wasn't afraid in the least and picked a fight by getting on her hind legs like a kangaroo and boxing her on the face. The dog thought she was playing at first, then barked. I interceded before the dog decided to break Mercedes neck.

Started a bit early this year. Managed to have this little pumpkin for two days before i caved in and hacked it up. I'm sure there will be more...

Sharon Jones. The Funk Brothers. Bootsy Collins. Trombone Shorty. Sandra Nkake. Da Cruz. Cirque du Soleil. Prince. Stevie Wonder (ok, so I missed Prince and Stevie!!) Some fantastic acts have blown up Montreal's famous jazz festival. For this 2022 edition, the show you shouldn't have missed was Kamasi Washington. I'd had long heard talk about him and here was a chance to see him live on the big stage.

 

Consider me sold: I am now a fan!!! WHAT A SHOW!!! The drummer behind in the glasses was one of two, and was wearing a fluorescent blue wig. During a solo he played so hard it flew off: the crowd cheered!

 

Taken with the Bella Donna, my rare Canon EF 50-200mm L uncharacteristically behaving well in infrared as I was at 200mm (the focus is often shifted at shorter focal lengths).

 

I might post a color shot one of these days, but I always feel jazz musicians should be depicted in black-and-white. A nod to its history, I guess...!

 

Recommended listening: "Street Fighter Mas"

...and a sample of this very performance in Montreal:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5-9ORhhfs4

New Orleans jamming hits Montreal in the form of Trombone Shorty, here putting his instrument through the paces for a packed audience. He raised the roof for Bootsy, who then brought the house down! (at the risk of mixing my metaphors...)

 

Exposure: 1/60, f/6.3, ISO 1600.

Lens: Canon EF 35-105 f/3.5-4.5 at 105mm. I had to put away the big lens according to security as it looked "professional!" No problem; I was right in front of the stage...and the lighting was bright enough for a moderate aperture.

 

In 2014 he returned to headline his own show at the jazz fest.

 

Recommended listening: "Backatown"

Exposure: 1/100, f/3.5, ISO 3200.

Lens: Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 II L behaving well (no flare, which it tends to do)

 

Recommended track: "Bootzilla", below playing with a youth orchestra and choir (ohh, Bootsy!!):

So... I haven't seen any rules that faces can't be in BM pictures although it doesn't seem quite right (I even tried some cropping that well just didn't work out). BUT she is standing on something and I was just so anxious to post today. Love Bench Mondays!

Last opportunity for a mini skirt :-)

hips don't lie......

and we do not suffer alone. Remember that our pets are people too.

This is Bootsy, my father's 4-legged beloved. Photo was taken the afternoon of Daddy's last day, and I got the impression that he was already feeling left Far Behind

I wonder if Daddy is waiting at the bridge for him...
