Kicking tires in West Van & seeing what comes of it. Nothing came of it. But the Mustang was able to get some fresh air, so that’s a good thing.
Well, the Canucks didn’t have much success this year but ended on a high note but the celebration of the Sedins’ career. Maybe next year!
If you have time the view on BLACK without distractions cheers Ed

Ernest “Ernie” McLean strokes his six string for guests of New Orleans Square...
New Orleans Square, Disneyland
From ponderosastomp.com:
“When one thinks of the original guitar heroes of rock and roll, Ike Turner, Paul Burlison, Scotty Moore, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley all spring to mind, but you'll rarely hear the name Ernest McLean. "Ernest McLean, who the heck is that?" you might ask. Well, take a listen to those early records by Smiley Lewis, Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew and marvel at the man burning up the frets. That, dear music fanatic, is Ernest McLean.
Capable of playing anything with strings, renowned for his ability on banjo, said to play chords not even known to exist, Ernest was one of the original members of Cosimo Matassa's legendary studio band, the one that played on a startling number of rock 'n' roll's first hits. A long time member of the Dave Bartholomew band, Ernest eventually migrated to L.A. where he took part in the cutting of Dr. John`s Gris Gris album. He played all the mandolin parts on the record and it was the FIRST TIME HE'D EVER PICKED UP THE INSTRUMENT!!
You can still catch Ernest playing regularly at Disneyland, but at the Ponderosa Stomp he'll be falling right back into that Crescent City groove with his old band mates Earl Palmer, Herb Hardesty, Harold Battiste and Chuck Badie.”
Guys, I listened to an interview with Ernest McLean and he said he started playing the guitar when he was 11 years old in 1936. That means he's roughly 85 years old. Who knows how much longer Ernie will be along, so go check him out... I know next time I'm in New Orleans Square and I come across Ernie, he will be sure to get a good 20 minutes of my time. And to think literally 100's of people walk by Ernie everyday without even stopping to enjoy a real musical legend and piece of history...
On a side note, it has been said that Ernie was the last person that Walt Disney himself hired to work at Disneyland, in the 1960's before his passing.

From the wikimedia commons. The Crwth — the ancient Celtic lyre. Photo lightened a little.
The image of the bard or druid with a lyre is confirmed on the basis of an archaeological excavation in 1988 in central Brittany (Paule), where one of a statuette of 48 cm, dating back to 2nd century BC, was excavated with the presentation of a Gallic bard with a seven-stringed lyre.

Statuette with a lyre
Height: 42 cm? Dating to the third century – the second century BC
From the excavation site of Paule-Saint-Symphorien, Brittany and found in a ditch, this is a statue, wearing a torc, bears the attributes of the bard, the lyre and the wreath. Despite the damage to the legs, the figure appears to be in a seated position.

Coin image of lyre from Britain. The lyre is found on coins of the central Armorican tribes from modern-day Brittany. However there is a local variant struck by the Atrebatic tribe modelled on continental coins and dating to the mid-1st century BC.
* ‘Lug played the three magic harp-strains so often referred to in the Irish texts – sleep-strain, wail-strain and laughter strain, which in turn caused slumber, mourning and joy.’ MacCulloch, J. A. 1898, The Mythology of All Races. Volume III: 29.

Bard or Druid from Gaul. Not much is known about the ancient Celtic lyre, only that it was used by pre-Celtic peoples and Celtic bards since the 8th century BC and that it was later well-known in Rome, where it was called lyra. Its resonator was made from wood, while only few components were made from bones. The instrument's strings were made from animal intestine. The Gauls and other Celtic peoples regarded the crwth as a symbol of their independent musical culture, although they had probably received it from the Ancient Greeks. The Goths invoked their tribal gods with prayers and chants, which they accompanied by lyre play. By the time of the 'Barbarian Invasions' in the 5th century AD the lyre had become the most important stringed instrument of the Germanic tribes and was a six-stringed wooden lyre with hollow ledger arms and wooden vortices in the ledger rod. The original Celtic lyre however came with different numbers of strings, as the Lyre of Paule, which is depicted on a statue from Côtes d'Armor in Brittany, apparently had seven strings.

The Celtic Welsh may still have an instrument called the 'crwth' as well.A type of lyre can be seen on a couple of ancient celtic coins from the late iron age.
Da Vinci was very adept on the lyre.
Druids
In simple terms the Druids were the priests of the Celtic tribes in Britain. But to state that fact does not convey the breadth of their influence in Celtic society. The Druids were a sort of super-class of priests, political advisors, teachers, healers, and arbitrators among the Celtic tribes.
They had their own universities, where traditional knowledge was passed on by rote (i.e. memorized). Druids had the right to speak ahead of the king in council, and may in some situations have held more authority than the king. They acted as ambassadors in time of war, they composed verse and upheld the law. They were a sort of glue holding together Celtic culture.
We know that the Druids used both animal and human sacrifice, and that many of their observances centred on oak groves and water. The Isle of Anglesey, in present-day Wales, was a centre of Druidic practice.
The Druids as we know them today exist largely in the words of the Romans. The trouble with the reports of the Romans is that they were a mix of reportage and political propaganda. It was politically expedient for the Celtic peoples to be coloured as barbarians and the Romans as a great civilizing force.
Certainly the Romans seem to been genuinely horrified by the instances of human sacrifice among the Druids. In 61 AD the Romans exterminated the Druids of Anglesey, effectively destroying druidism as a religious force until a form of druidism was revived in the 19th century.
