Musician busking at the 'Hoggetowne Medieval Faire', in Gainesville, Fl. I'm, inclined to think that the harmonium was not invented until the mid 19c, but who's counting!
Benjy and Barrett had an Easter candy hunt in Barrett's apartment. I found the first bunny (inside the harmonium) while Barrett was explaining the rules.

‘WILDFLOWERS OF MANITOBA’ (2007) by Luis Jacob & Noam Gonick (CAN).
‘Wildflowers of Manitoba’ is a surround-vision, four-screen installation by Luis Jacob and Noam Gonick depicting hallucinatory visions of a tribe of nude boy-folk exploring the splendors of the Canadian Prairies. The work revolves around a notion of utopia as a blissful, sensual – and sexual – return to the land. This erogenous, non-narrative film references an imagined scenario echoing late 60s counter-culture, with its widespread experimental communitarianism, environmentalism, and sexual liberation. The piece pays tribute to the particularly Queer experience of that historical moment. The installation is permeated by the Québécois band Harmonium, whose 1975 album shows the separatist ideology shared by the band at that time. The installation creates an immersive environment that places viewers inside and outside the dome, somewhere between Brion Gysin’s ‘Dreamachine’ and Wilhelm Reich’s ‘Orgone Generator’.

Pete Coe and Alice Jones both live in Ripponden in West Yorkshire (though Coe is originally from Cheshire). Since 2014 the two have come together to present a show "The Search for Five Finger Frank", consisting of English folk songs collected by Frank Kidson from Leeds. Mainly in the 1880s and 90s, before other better known collectors. I took photos of Coe in 2014 at the Musical Traditions Club, see: www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157641847911043/.

21st April 2017 at the Nehru Centre, London W1.
Part of Baul and Vaishnav Music Festival (free event).
Country: Bangladesh (British resident). Style: Baul Sangeet.
Lineup: Nuruzzaman Ahmed (dotara), Luthfur Rahman (bansuri/banjo/ektara), Narayan Dey (ektara), Yamin Chowdhury Shagor (tabla), Gouri Choudhury (v/harmonium), Kalamdar Talukdar (v), Ahmed Kaysher (dug dugi).
This was the opening event of the second Baul and Vaishnav Music Festival to be held in London (there has been a Festival in Leeds since 2011). The Bauls are a religious sect (influenced by Vaishnava Hindus and Sufi Muslims) and a musical tradition from from Bengal (both Bangladesh and West Bengal in India).All the performs at this concert come from (or their family heritage derives from) the Gaudiya region (now Sylhet) of Bangladesh. I have taken photos of one of them before, Gouri Choudhury, at the 2010 World City Music Village Festival, see: www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/tags/gourichoudhury,wor.... Most of the concert consisted of instrumental melodies with the Dotara (or Dutara) and Bansuri to the fore. Towards the end there were devotional songs.
This little organ died while Deanne was playing it at KPSU when guesting on Austin's radio show some 4 years ago or so. It's been down there in the studio ever since and hung from the ceiling like this for some years. It had been taken down for a while, but when I did the radio show on 8/6 playing her music in honor of her passing, we put it back up as it belongs. The show can still be downloaded from the WTC homepage linked here.
