Der Spiegel (lit. "The Mirror") is a German weekly news magazine published in Hamburg. It is one of Europe's largest publications of its kind, with a weekly circulation of more than one million.
Der Spiegel is similar in style and layout to American news magazines such as Time or Newsweek. In terms of the breadth and amount of detail in its articles it is comparable to The Atlantic Monthly. It is known in Germany for its distinctive, academic writing style and its large volume—a standard issue may run 200 pages or more. Typically, it has a content to advertising ratio of 2:1.
Der Spiegel has a distinctive reputation for revealing political misconduct and scandals. It merited recognition for this as early as 1950, when the federal parliament launched an inquiry into Spiegel's accusations that bribed members of parliament had promoted Bonn over Frankfurt as the seat of West Germany's government.
During the Spiegel scandal in 1962, which followed the release of a report about the possibly low state of readiness of the German armed forces, minister of defence and conservative figurehead Franz Josef Strauß had Der Spiegel investigated. In the course of this investigation, the editorial offices were raided by police while Rudolf Augstein and other Der Spiegel editors were arrested on charges of treason. Despite a lack of sufficient authority, Strauß even went after the article's author, Conrad Ahlers, who was consequently arrested in Spain where he was on holiday. When the legal case collapsed, the scandal led to a major shake-up in chancellor Konrad Adenauer's cabinet and Strauß had to stand down. The affair was generally received as an attack on the freedom of the press. Since then, Der Spiegel has repeatedly played a significant role in revealing political grievances and misdeeds, including the Flick Affair.
The Spiegel scandal is now remembered for altering the political culture of post-war Germany and — with the first mass demonstrations and public protests — being a turning point from the old Obrigkeitsstaat (authoritarian state) to a modern democracy.
In 2010, the magazine supported WikiLeaks in publishing leaked materials from the United States State Department, along with The Guardian, The New York Times, El País, and Le Monde.

The Postcard
A postcard published by the Lansdowne Production Co. of London bearing an early high-quality image of Hyde Park Corner.
The monochrome photograph has been rather crudely hand tinted - the artist has added pink 'blossoms' to the trees which are the same colour as the lower half of the bus near the Wellington Arch.
The card was posted on Tuesday the 4th. September 1951 to a post box in Tel Aviv.
The Wellington Arch
The Wellington Arch, also known as Constitution Arch or (originally) as the Green Park Arch, is a Grade I-listed triumphal arch by Decimus Burton that forms a centrepiece of Hyde Park Corner in central London.
It stands on a large traffic island with crossings for pedestrian access. When constructed (1826–1830) the arch stood in a different location nearby; it was moved to its current site in 1882–1883.
The arch originally supported a colossal equestrian statue of the 1st. Duke of Wellington by the sculptor Cotes Wyatt, as a result of which it has acquired the name "The Wellington Arch." A bronze quadriga (an ancient four-horse chariot) by Adrian Jones has surmounted the arch since 1912.
History of the Wellington Arch
Both the Wellington Arch and Marble Arch (originally sited in front of Buckingham Palace) were planned in 1825 by George IV to commemorate Britain's victories in the Napoleonic Wars.
During the second half of the 1820's, the Commissioners of Woods and Forests and the King resolved that Hyde Park, and the area around it, should be renovated to match the splendour of rival European capital cities, and that the essence of the new arrangement would be a triumphal approach to the recently completed Buckingham Palace.
The committee of the project, led by the Prime Minister, Lord Liverpool, and advised by Charles Arbuthnot, selected Decimus Burton as the project's architect. In 1828, when giving evidence to a Parliamentary Select Committee, Arbuthnot explained that he had nominated Burton:
"Having seen in the Regent's Park, and elsewhere,
works which pleased my eye, from their architectural
beauty and correctness".
Burton intended to create an urban space dedicated to the celebration of the House of Hanover, national pride, and the nation's heroes.
The renovation of Hyde Park, Green Park, and St. James's Park began in 1825, with the demarcation of new drives and pathways, subsequent to which Burton designed new lodges and gates, viz. Cumberland Gate, Stanhope Gate, Grosvenor Gate, the Hyde Park Gate/Screen at Hyde Park Corner, and, later, the Prince of Wales's Gate, Knightsbridge, in the classical style.
There were no authoritative precedents for such buildings, which required windows and chimney stacks, in the classical style, and, in the words of Guy Williams:
"Burton's reticent treatment of the supernumerary
features and of the cast iron gates and railings was
greatly admired".
At Hyde Park Corner, the King required:
"Some great ceremonial outwork that would
be worthy of the new palace that lay to its rear".
The King accepted Burton's proposal for a gateway and classical screen, along with a triumphal arch, which would enable those approaching Buckingham Palace from the north to ride first through the screen and then through the arch, before turning to descend Constitution Hill and enter the forecourt of Buckingham Palace through Nash's Marble Arch.
The screen became the neoclassical Hyde Park Gate/Screen at Hyde Park Corner, which delighted the King and his Committee, and which the architectural historian Guy Williams describes as:
"One of the most pleasing architectural works
that have survived from the neo-classical age".
The triumphal arch has been described as "One of London's best loved landmarks".
Burton's original design for the triumphal arch, which was modelled on the Arch of Titus at Rome, was more technically perfect, and coherent with the Screen, than that of the arch that was subsequently built.
Burton's original design, however, was rejected by the Committee – who had envisaged a design based on the Arch of Constantine, on which Nash's Marble Arch had been modelled – because it was not sufficiently ostentatious.
Burton created a new design, "to pander to the majestic ego", which was much larger and which was accepted on the 14th. January 1826, and subsequently built as the present Wellington Arch.
The arch has a single opening, and uses the Corinthian order. Much of the intended exterior ornamentation was omitted as a cost-saving exercise necessitated by the King's overspending on the refurbishment of Buckingham Palace, which was underway at the same time.
A contemporary account, written in anticipation of its completion to its original plan, describes what was intended:
"The entabulature is loft and elegant, with a richly
sculptured frieze, and a row of boldly projecting
lions' heads on the cymatium, marking the centres
of columns and other sub-divisions of the order.
Above the entablature, on a lofty blocking course,
is raised an attic, the body of which is embellished
with a sculptural representation of an ancient triumph.
On each of the columns is a statue of a warrior, and
on the summit of the acroterium which surmounts the
attic is a figure in a quadriga or ancient four horse
chariot."
However the arch was left devoid of decorative sculpture as a result of the moratorium in 1828 on public building work. Instead, despite the strong objection of Burton, was mounted with an ungainly equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington by Matthew Cotes Wyatt, the son of the then recently deceased James Wyatt, who had been selected by the statue's commissioner, and one of its few subsequent advocates, Sir Frederick Trench.
The bronze by Matthew Cotes Wyatt, which surmounted the arch, was, at 40 tons and 28 feet (8.53 m) in height, the largest equestrian figure ever made.
However Matthew Cotes Wyatt was not competent: Guy Williams contended that "He was not noticeably talented", and the Dictionary of National Biography states:
"Thanks to royal and other influential patronage,
Wyatt enjoyed a reputation and practice to which
his mediocre abilities hardly entitled him".
Trench, and his patrons the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, had told public subscribers to the statue that it would be placed on top of Burton's triumphal arch at Hyde Park Corner.
Burton expressed his opposition to this proposal "as plainly and as vehemently as his nature allowed" consistently over successive years, because the ungainly statue would "disfigure" his arch.
He claimed that the statue was much too large for the arch and the surrounding neighbourhood. He also noted that the statue would have to be placed, contrary to all classical precedent, across, instead of parallel with, the roadway under the arch.
Burton had envisaged that his arch would be topped with only a small quadriga whose horses would have been parallel with the road under the arch. Burton's objections were extensively endorsed by most of the aristocratic residents of London.
A writer in The Builder asked Lord Canning, the First Commissioner for Woods and Forests, to ban the project:
"We have learnt, and can state positively, that Mr. Burton
has the strongest objection possible against placing the
group in question on the archway... and that he is taking
no part whatever in the alteration proposed to be made
in the upper part of the structure to prepare it to receive
the pedestal... Mr. Burton, through the mildness which
characterizes him, has not expressed this opinion so
loudly and so publicly as he ought to have done.... an
opinion prevails very generally, that he is a party to the
proceedings, and this has induced many to be silent
who would otherwise have spoken."
The Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel, contended that another site would be preferable, and proposed, on behalf of the Crown, to offer an alternative location, but the statue's subscribers rejected all alternative proposals.
Every single MP except Sir Frederick Trench wanted the statue to be placed elsewhere. Canning wrote:
"The remonstrances which reach Her Majesty's
Government against the proposed appropriation
of the arch are so many and so strong, the
representations of its architect, Mr. Burton, in the
same sense, are so earnest, and the opinion of
every other eminent architect, artist, or other
competent authority who has been consulted on
the subject is so decided against the placing of
the Wellington statue on the arch."
Decimus Burton himself wrote:
"The arch would, I consider, suffer greatly in importance
if the colossal statue in question be placed there, because
it would become a mere pedestal.
The want of proportion in the proposed surmount, compared with the columns and other details of the architecture, would show that they had been designed by different hands, and without reference for each other. I have desired to witness
the completion of this building, as originally designed by me, and as approved by the Lords of the Treasury, yet I would prefer that the building should remain for the present in its forlorn and bare state, rather than a colossal equestrian
statue should be placed upon it.
I fear that if this appropriation of the building should be decided upon, a proposition would soon be made for removing altogether the facades of columns, the slender proportions of which would appear so incongruous and
out of proportion compared with the prodigious
dimensions of the statue".
Burton had realized that the disciples of Pugin and advocates of Pugin's anti-classicism would remove all classical elements from his arch if permitted the opportunity to do so.
Despite Burton's objections, the Wellington statue was placed on the arch in autumn 1846; Williams contends that the product was "ridiculous". The Builder contended:
"Down, unquestionably, it must come. As the network
of timber is removed, spar by spar, from before it, so
does the folly of the experiment, the absurdity of the conjunction, and the greatness of the sacrifice become apparent.
Its effect is even worse than we anticipated – the
destruction of the arch by the statue, and of the statue
by its elevation on the arch, more complete.
Every post brings us letters urging renewed efforts to
remove the figure to another site".
The issue of the removal of the statue became national. However, the Government failed to remove the statue, despite having professed, when it had been placed, that they would do so if it provoked serious aversion.
Foreign intellectuals who visited London identified the incongruous fusion of the statue and the arch as:
"Spectacular confirmation of the
artistic ignorance of the English".
Guy Williams writes that
"The arch at Hyde Park Corner is a visible reminder
of one of the fiercest attacks that have ever been
launched in the worlds of art and architecture.
The face of London might have been very different
now – freer, perhaps, of the 'monstrous carbuncles'
so disliked by the present Prince of Wales – if Decimus
Burton had been a little more pugnacious, and so better
equipped to stand his ground".
The Quadriga
During 1882, traffic congestion at Hyde Park Corner required Burton's arch to be moved to the top of Constitution Hill to create space for traffic. Burton's great-nephew Francis Fearon suggested that the moving of the arch would be a good opportunity to remove the Wellington statue from the arch. Fearon contended that the:
"The arch should be relieved once
and for all of its unsightly load".
The campaign led by Fearon was successful: Wyatt's incongruous statue was removed to Aldershot, and its place on Burton's arch, which was moved to Constitution Hill in 1883, was occupied by a Quadriga by Captain Adrian Jones.
Jones' statue is not nearly as elegant as Burton's designed statue intended for the arch, but it is more coherent with the arch than Wyatt's statue, and its figures, unlike those of Wyatt's statue, are aligned with the roadway under the arch.
Jones's statue is based on a smaller original which caught the eye of Edward VII at a Royal Academy exhibition. The sculpture depicts Nike, the winged goddess of victory, descending on the chariot of war, holding the classical symbol of victory and honour, a laurel wreath.
The face of the charioteer leading the quadriga is that of a small boy (actually the son of Lord Michelham, who funded the sculpture). The angel of peace was modelled on Beatrice Stewart.
The statue is the largest bronze sculpture in Europe.
Public Access to the Arch
The arch is hollow inside, and until 1992 housed the smallest police station in London. Transferred to the ownership of English Heritage in 1999, the arch is open to the paying public.
The arch offers three floors of exhibits detailing its history, exhibition space, and high terraces on both sides with views of the surrounding area.
One half of the arch functions as a ventilation shaft for the Hyde Park Corner road underpass, constructed in 1961–1962.
Martin Chambers
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, the 4th. September 1951 marked the birth in Hereford of Martin Chambers.
Martin Dale Chambers is an English musician, who is best known as a founding member and drummer of the rock band the Pretenders. In addition to playing the drums with the group, Chambers sings backing vocals.
Martin Chambers' Career
Prior to joining the as-yet unnamed Pretenders, Chambers played with James Honeyman-Scott in Cheeks, a band led by former Mott the Hoople keyboardist Verden Allen. At the time Chambers joined the band in 1978, he was working as a driving instructor in Tufnell Park, London where he had got a job with the British School of Motoring:
"Because it came with a
car so I could get about."
Because of that he found where Jim and Pete were living and then replaced Jerry Mackleduff on drums. At Chambers's first rehearsal with the group, Hynde recalled:
"We plugged in and started playing "Precious",
and I remember clearly, I had to turn around
and face the wall, I was laughing so hard,
because as soon as Martin started playing with
us, I knew this was it. We had the band."
Martin also recalled the rehearsal:
"We knew it straight away.
We just locked in."
In the Autumn of 1981, The Pretenders cancelled their US and Canada Tour as Chambers had cut his hand, and the injury was so bad that he couldn’t play for a number of weeks. The band decided to postpone the tour rather than replace Chambers.
Chambers proved to be a versatile drummer within the group, with a hard-hitting style that is evident on songs such as "Middle of the Road".
Guitarist Adam Seymour has acknowledged that:
"There's a definite thing going on in
the rhythm between Chrissie's guitar
and Martin's drums that you would
need a scientific equation to explain.
Martin kind of pulls back on the beat
while Chrissie's pushing it forward."
Chambers' first tenure with the group lasted from mid-1978 until the mid-1980's. Coping with the death of bandmates Honeyman-Scott and Farndon proved difficult, and his consequent lack of enthusiasm resulted in his departure from the group during the Get Close sessions.
According to Hynde:
"I felt his playing had deteriorated.
I think he was still very traumatized
by the loss of Pete and Jimmy."
Martin concurred, admitting:
"I wasn't really into it
to be honest."
Chambers rejoined the group in 1994 during the sessions for Last of the Independents, and has been with the group ever since. When he rejoined, Seymour recalled:
"When Martin sat down, it
began to feel like a real band."
Martin summed up his reunion with the group, saying:
"At the end of the day Chrissie asked
me back because no one could make
it work quite like we did."
Hynde concurred, saying:
"I missed him terribly. ... Both he and I
were floundering—and probably not
playing well—and I needed someone
to kick me in the ass and inspire me.
We went through one song and it was
the same buzz as when we first played
together. No one has that swing and
feel."
In late 2008, The Pretenders released the album Break Up the Concrete with Chambers being replaced by Jim Keltner, although Chambers remained an official member and played with the band on live dates.
In addition to playing with the Pretenders, Chambers also plays in the band Miss World fronted by songwriter Jonathan Perkins, who had worked with artists such as XTC and Original Mirrors.
In late September and early October 2009, Chambers sat in on drums for the seven Mott the Hoople reunion shows (2 in Monmouth and 5 at Hammersmith Odeon) alongside former Cheeks bandmate Verden Allen due to the illness of Dale Griffin who had loaned Chambers his kit for his first live show in 1967 at St. Mary's Church Hall, Ross on Wye, Herefordshire.

I hadn't planned to, but I ended up writing the text block for these images, which reads:
Awesome. Orchids. Everywhere.
That pretty much sums up the Cleveland Botanical Garden's "Orchid Mania: Blossoms & Butterflies" show, running through March 26.
The other thing to know about the event can be summed up in even fewer words: bountiful butterflies, approximately three times more than normally seen in the Cloud Forest of Costa Rica biome in the Eleanor Armstrong Smith Glasshouse.
You'll see, among others, Postman, Cattleheart, Zebra Longwing and Julia butterflies and also the captivating Blue Morpho; you'll watch them flutter around orchids, ginger blossoms, leaves, branches and even land on visitors, providing magical moments that have patrons pointing their cameras in three directions at once and clicking shutters as fast as their fingers can function.
And don't forget to visit the spiny desert of Madagascar, also in the glasshouse. The resident chameleon is as beautiful as any flower.
But the stars of this show are the awesome orchids: Big orchids, small orchids, white orchids, purple orchids ... some peer out from frames as living artwork, others spring from free-standing orchid sculptures, and others congregate in pots that haunt every nook and cranny of the botanical garden.
As one weary worker said Thursday during setup for the show, "If there's such a thing as orchid overdose, this might be it!" But of course, there's no such thing as orchid overdose, just as there's no such thing as too much beauty – you always want more.
The Victorians coined the word "orchidelirium" to describe flower madness – now I know why.
Way back in 1908, a weekly - "A Conviccao" - was edited and published by Antonio Xavier Serrao at Cotula vaddo in Saligao village (Goa-India). The picture of the vintage newspaper shows the masthead of its issue dated January 23, 1909. I am anxious to see some of the oldest newspapers.
Says my erudite friend Fr Nascimento Mascarenhas, hailing from Saligao, "A Conviccao, news weekly, Saligao, Cotula. Editor and Publisher Antonio Xavier Serrao (began publishing it in his own printing press, from January 1908 and with some inturuptions, stopped publishing it from 18th May, 1912 no. 188, 4th year... Printed in small folio (no folio pequeno), published from 15th January 1887 to 1895, edited by Gustavo A.de Silva, Leopoldo C.da Gama, Pascoal Joao Gomes and others... May be the copies of this weekly are in the Central Library , Panjim, now shifted to Patto, Panjim. Kindly find out and photograph the first one of January 15, 1887. It will be great." By the way, Fr Nascimento has recently published his fifth Goa book LAND OF THE SAL TREE (pp 290), which contains stories of the history, legends and traditions of Saligao, a typical Goan village and illustrated by Mel D'Souza.

Opening-act di Ellie Goulding, al Mediolanum Forum di Assago il 1° febbraio 2016, Sara Hartman.
Sara Hartman is just full of surprises. This frizzy haired and funny 20-year-old with a huge voice had never left New York, but a year ago, she jumped on a plane by herself to Berlin, Germany in order to pursue a dream of making music.
“I had just finished reading Patti Smith’s book, Just Kids,” she recalls. “That really helped me while I was getting my bearings. To me, Berlin is like New York when it still had that raw young energy in the seventies. The streets might be dirty, but people are making art everywhere. That’s so intoxicating to me. Berlin is very welcoming for creative people. When you have a center like that, great things are inevitable. Being away from home is very hard, but the energy is beautiful.”
The story starts a long way from Berlin though. She might’ve been raised in Sag Harbor, but her upbringing couldn’t be farther apart from the usual depiction of The Hamptons in movies, television, and magazines. The Hartman family stood out among the few “year-round” natives. Dad designs and builds pools for the area’s residents, while mom creates visual art. In similar fashion, dad turned Sara on to the likes of Goldfinger, as mom introduced her to Radiohead and The Talking Heads. “Life is weird,” she smiles. “That’s a major characteristic of my childhood. My mom always encouraged my siblings and me to make things out of nothing. Meanwhile, my dad showed me a really diligent work ethic. I feel like I’ve got both of those sides in what I do—the head and the heart.” She took that mindset into the studio to create something different.

OM newsletter was published by Roger Priest, a seaman apprentice journalist assigned to the Pentagon and the Washington Navy Yard 1969-70 that criticized the brass, opposed the war in Vietnam and urged military personnel to form a union and had a national circulation of about 1,000.
Its publication resulted in a court martial for Priest where he faced charges of soliciting fellow soldiers to desert, urging insubordination and making statements disloyal to the United States that could have resulted in up to six years hard labor, forfeiture of pay and grade and a dishonorable discharge.
Priest was ultimately convicted of promoting disloyalty and given a reprimand, reduction in rank and a bad conduct discharge. At the time it was regarded as a victory for Priest.
In 1971, a panel of Navy appeals judges reversed that conviction and awarded Priest an honorable discharge, A later review of the case by Rear Admiral George Koch, commandant of the Washington Naval District, dropped the reprimand.

The Postcard
A Happy Little People Series postcard published by Hodder & Stoughton which features quite a clever play on words.
The card was posted in Finsbury Park on the 30th. March 1915 to:
Miss E. Stanbrook,
Northolme,
42, Montagu Road,
Hendon.
The message on the back of the card was as follows:
"Thank you so much for that
pretty card and good wishes.
I had a very nice time at
Portsmouth.
Will you please give the letter
to Grandma for me, as I have
forgotten her number?
Love and kisses,
Auntie Gladys".
Millicent Sowerby
Amy Millicent Sowerby was born in Northumberland in 1878. She was primarily a book illustrator. Millicent was also a prolific illustrator of children's picture postcards, depicting scenes from Shakespeare as well as Kate Greenaway-type girls.
Millicent had a fondness for children, and often chose them as subjects. She once stated:
'It has always been the beautiful
in childhood that has attracted me'.
Millicent died in 1967.
SMS Emden
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 30th. March 1915, a German party of marines stranded after the SMS Emden was destroyed were escorted to Jeddah on the Arabian Peninsula with a party of Turkish and Arab guards.
They were surprised by a party of Bedouin raiders and forced to fight, where two of the party were killed and third wounded before a relief force arrived to escort them to the city.
HMS Foxglove
Also on that day, the Royal Navy minesweeper HMS Foxglove was launched at Barclay Curle in Glasgow, where it went on to serve in both world wars.
Sigma Gamma Epsilon
Also on the 30th. March 1915, the men's fraternity Sigma Gamma Epsilon was formed at University of Kansas for students involved in the earth sciences.

Sypboy; The Horror of Collier County By Michael Vance
Spyboy's Peter David has a reputation for puns. As his newest boy slams a bully's head against a toilet, Alex yells "Here! Lemme crown you with the throne!"
Did I mention they are bad puns?
Peter David also has a reputation for tightly scripted romps that leave his readers wanting more. Spyboy is more.
Alex is Spyboy, and a teenager brutalized by his schoolmates. Only his imagination saves his sanity during ugly situations. Much more you won't learn from the first issue.
The first issue of a new comic book series is always tricky. There usually isn't enough room to offer detailed plot and character development, but most comics fans only give a creative team one of two issues to build an audience. So a taste of things to come must really whet the appetite.
Spyboy is whet and wild. (See, Peter, I can also do it.)
Some excellent art, heavily influenced by Japanese manga (big shoes, shocks of tousled hair and huge eyes), adds just the right visual spice as well.
What more can I say?
Buy it.
Thrill at an alligator ripping the shorts off a man.
Chill as a totally detestable, sour and profane mother sets a terrible example for her young daughter.
Gag as another older parent is painted as stupid, ugly, and useless.
Yes, yawn at The Horror of Collier County, a “reality”-based new limited comic book series that begs the question, “Why should I spend $2.95 for five minutes of this?”
The answer is that the abstract cartoonist art is distinctive and consistent, and the visual storytelling is solid.
But the book’s leisurely pace, profanity, unnecessary nudity, and unsympathetic characters leave you, as it did me, horrified.

Steve Hackett presenta “Genesis Classics with Hackett Favourites Introducing Wolflight" all’Estathé Market Sound a Milano.
Da Acolyte a Wolflight con Genesis Revisited. Il leggendario Steve Hackett torna con un nuovo disco e un live set che è una “total experience” per gli amanti del prog e della musica. Senza confini di genere e di tempo.
Dopo due anni di successi e sold out, il leggendario chitarrista dei Genesis Steve Hackett continua la rivisitazione della sua carriera, con il meglio del repertorio Genesis, il 40ennale del primo album solista “Voyage of the Acolyte” e un nuovo capitolo appena scritto, “Wolflight”, che sta già scalando le classifiche.
Con una carriera e un repertorio che attraversa decenni di storia del rock, dai Genesis alla sua eccezionale carriera solistica, dopo i Genesis Revisited Tour del 2013 e 2014 che lo hanno portato in tutto il mondo, i premi e i concerti in teatri storici come la Royal Albert Hall, Steve Hackett annuncia il nuovo tour mondale che toccherà l'Italia nel settembre 2015.
Il live set includerà infatti i brani favoriti del Genesis Revisited, oltre all'omaggio al primo album solista e alla presentazione dal vivo di alcuni brani del nuovo album, capitolo più recente di una lunga carriera che lo ha portato a pubblicare, oltre ai 7 album con i Genesis, 30 album da solista e uno con il super gruppo GTR insieme con Steve Howe degli Yes e dell'Asia.
Un musicista che ha percorso la storia del rock e continua a percorrere i sentieri della creatività musicale.
Il nuovo album "Wolflight", uscito alla fine di marzo di quest'anno è il primo album originale in studio dopo "Beyond The Shrouded Horizon", del 2011. Porta l'ascoltatore in un lungo viaggio musicale, dalle antiche culture ai ricordi d'infanzia, da "Black Thunder" ispirata da Martin Luther King, a "Corycian Fire" ispirato ai luoghi mistici della Grecia antica a "Love Song To A Vampire" che si interroga sul difficile tema delle relazioni abusive.
Sul palco con Steve Hackett un eccezionale team di musicisti di altissimo livello: alle tastiere Roger King (Gary Moore) alla batteria, percussioni e voce Gary O'Toole (Kylie Minogue, Chrissie Hynde), al sax, flauto e percussioni Rob Townsend (Bill Bruford), al basso e chitarra Roine Stolte (Flower Kings), già special guest in Genesis Revisited e per la prima volta nella line up della band, e alla voce Nad Sylvan (Agents of Mercy).

Having had his interest in aviation sparked by being at the receiving end of B-24s bombing occupied France when he was 7-yr old, René Francillon turned aviation into both his vocation and avocation. Most of his professional career was in the United States, working for major aircraft manufacturers and airport planning/design companies. All along, he kept developing a second career as an aviation historian, an activity that led him to author more than 50 books and 400 articles published in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and elsewhere. Far from “hanging on his spurs,” he plans to remain active as an author well into his eighties.-------PLEASE TAG this image with any information you know about it, so that we can permanently store this data with the original image file in our Digital Asset Management System.--------------SOURCE INSTITUTION: San Diego Air and Space Museum Archive
