The Great Clydie King we lost on Jan 7 ,2019 - What a great voice and talent.
Found this early footage of her song The Thrill is gone - 1965
on UTUBE.

Clydie King, whose peppery but plain-spoken backing vocals helped define hits like the
Rolling Stones’ “Tumbling Dice,” Linda Ronstadt’s “You’re No Good” and — despite her
reservations about it — Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama,” died on Jan. 7 in Monrovia,
Calif. She was 75.
Tony Collins, her former husband, said her death, at Monrovia Memorial Hospital, was caused
by complications of a blood infection that she had acquired during dialysis treatment.
Ms. King joined Bob Dylan’s band in 1980, when he was in the midst of his Christian-rock
phase, beginning a long association with him. Mr. Dylan had recently converted to
evangelical Christianity, and the two bonded over music and faith. She became a central part
of his ensemble, and they started a romantic relationship that lasted through the mid-’80s.
In a statement to the news media on the occasion of Ms. King’s death, Mr. Dylan said: “She
was my ultimate singing partner. No one ever came close. We were two soul mates.”
Ms. King recorded dozens of songs under her own name in the 1960s, and in the next decade
she released a smattering of solo albums on independent labels. But she never scored a
breakthrough hit. Instead, by the mid-’70s she had established herself as a first-call
backing vocalist, working with B. B. King, Joe Cocker, Odetta, Steely Dan and many others.
Starting in 1966 she spent three years as a core member of Ray Charles’s famed backing vocal
troupe, the Raelettes. Another member was Merry Clayton, who also went on to become a top-
tier background singer and collaborated frequently with Ms. King over the coming decade.
In the early 1970s, Ms. King was a leader of the Blackberries, a soul- and disco-oriented
group that recorded for Motown’s West Coast affiliate, Mowest. She released three solo
albums for small labels in the ’70s: “Direct Me,” a sparky soul-funk effort, in 1971; “Brown
Sugar,” in 1973; and “Rushing to Meet You,” with a disco bent, in 1976.
She stepped away from performing in the mid-’80s for health reasons, and never made a full
comeback.
Ms. King is survived by a sister, Enober Green; a brother, Willie King; two sons,
Christopher and Randy Hale, from her marriage to Robin Hale; and a number of grandchildren.
A third son from that marriage, Magge Hale, died before her, as did a daughter, Delores
Collins, from her marriage to Mr. Collins. Both marriages ended in divorce.
Clydie Mae King was born in Dallas on Aug. 21, 1943. Her mother died when she was 2 years
old, and she was raised primarily by her older sister, Lula Mae Crittendon.
Ms. King sang in her church choir as a child, and she stood out early. At age 8, she
appeared on a national television show hosted by Art Linkletter.
Soon after, her family moved to Los Angeles, where Ms. King started her recording career at
13, fronting a doo-wop group called Little Clydie and the Teens. Over the succeeding years
she recorded frequently as a leader, mostly in a classic doo-wop or soul style, for the
Specialty, Philips, Minit and Imperial labels.
One day in June 1973, at a time when she was working constantly as a background vocalist,
she called Ms. Clayton and asked her to participate in the recording of “Sweet Home
Alabama.” Ms. Clayton initially resisted, offended by the song’s lyrics. The irony was not
lost on Ms. King, either, that two black women might contribute to a song seen by many as
celebrating the conservative backlash against civil rights. But she persuaded Ms. Clayton to
do the session anyway, and together their boisterous voices helped define what became a
smash hit.
“We really wanted nothing to do with any type of Alabama at that time in our lives,” Ms.
Clayton recalled in an interview shortly after the release in 2013 of “20 Feet From
Stardom,” Morgan Neville’s Oscar-winning documentary about backup singers. (That film helped
bring Ms. Clayton’s career out of the shadows, but it did not feature Ms. King.)
That was a part of our protest, you know?” Ms. Clayton told Rolling Stone. “We couldn’t
stand on the front lines, but we could certainly sing ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ with all of our
hearts and souls — a song that will live in infamy.”
Ms. King first worked with Mr. Dylan on the sessions for “Saved” (1980), his second of three
religious albums. She is also heard with him on “Shot of Love” (1981), his final Christian
album; “Infidels” (1983); and the 2018 archival collection “The Bootleg Series Vol. 13:
Trouble No More 1979–1981.”
Ms. King and Mr. Dylan made a wealth of recordings as a duo, which have yet to be released.
“There must be at least an album’s worth. We would often go into the studios and do little
things,” Ms. King said in a 2007 interview with In the Basement, a British music magazine.
“I don’t know why nothing was ever issued. I expect it had to do with record company
politics.”
The 2017 concert film “Trouble No More,” centering on footage from Mr. Dylan’s 1980 tours,
features Ms. King prominently. It closes with her and Mr. Dylan seated together at the
piano, singing a tender duet on “Abraham, Martin and John.”
Alongside Ms. King, Mr. Dylan’s famously mercurial voice becomes clear and well pitched, and
the two harmonize with ease. They appear to be playing to a largely empty arena, presumably
during a sound check — but they seem unconcerned about who is or isn’t listening, lost as
they are inside the music

Le foto del viaggio in barca tra le Isole Ionie. Un vero viaggio, non una semplice crociera, perché oltre la vela e il mare abbiamo vissuto numerose esperienze sulla terraferma.
Abbiamo assaporato da vicino quegli aspetti e quelle curiosità che fanno parte del mondo ellenico e che solitamente si perdono durante una classica vacanza in barca a vela.
Abbiamo degustato vino, cucinato nella cucina di una taverna sul mare, prodotto i nostri formaggi, mangiato i piatti tipici, ma soprattutto abbiamo conosciuto i greci.
Un mix di mare e terra!

We have closely tasted those aspects and those curiosities that are part of the Hellenic world and that are usually lost during a classic sailing holiday.
We tasted wine, cooked in the kitchen of a tavern on the sea, produced our cheese, ate typical dishes, but above all we met the Greeks.

Dion DiMucci
Dion Francis DiMucci (born July 18, 1939), better known mononymously as Dion, is an American
singer and songwriter whose work has incorporated elements of doo-wop, rock and R&B styles—
and, most recently, straight blues. Initially as lead singer of Dion and the Belmonts and
then in his solo career, he was one of the most popular American rock and roll performers of
the pre-British Invasion era. He had 39 Top 40 hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s as a
solo performer, with the Belmonts or with the Del Satins. He is best remembered for the
singles "Runaround Sue", "The Wanderer", "Ruby Baby" and "Lovers Who Wander", among his
other hits.
Dion's popularity waned in the mid-1960s. Toward the end of the decade, he shifted his style
and produced songs with a more mature, contemplative feeling, such as "Abraham, Martin and
John." He became popular again in the late 1960s and into the mid-1970s, and he has
continued making music ever since. Critics who had dismissed his early work, pegging him as
merely a teen idol, praised his later work, and noted the influence he has had on other
musicians.[1]
Dion was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1989.
Early years[edit]
Dion was born to an Italian-American family in the Bronx, New York.[2] As a child, he
accompanied his father, Pasquale DiMucci, a vaudeville entertainer, on tour, and developed a
love of country music – particularly the work of Hank Williams. He also developed a fondness
for the blues and doo-wop musicians he heard performing in local bars and on the radio. His
singing was honed on the street corners and local clubs of the Bronx, where he and other
neighborhood singers created a cappella riffs.
In early 1957, he auditioned for Bob and Gene Schwartz, who had just formed Mohawk Records.
They recorded Dion singing lead on a song which had been arranged by Hugo Montenegro and
pre-recorded with everything but the lead vocals. The backing vocals were by a group called
"The Timberlanes", whom Dion had never met.[3] The resulting single, "The Chosen Few," was
released under the name Dion and the Timberlanes, and became a minor regional hit. Writing
about this experience later, in his autobiography, The Wanderer, Dion said that he had never
met the Timberlanes and didn't even know who they were. "The vocal group was so white bread,
I went back to my neighborhood and I recruited a bunch of guys – three guys – and we called
ourselves Dion and the Belmonts."[4]
Career[edit]
With the Belmonts: 1957–1960[edit]
Main article: Dion and the Belmonts
Bob and Gene Schwartz also signed Dion's friends, the Belmonts, (Carlo Mastrangelo, Fred
Milano, and Angelo D'Aleo), a vocal group named for the neighborhood itself, known as
"Belmont", and teamed them, with Dion singing lead. The new group's breakthrough came in
early 1958, when "I Wonder Why" (on their newly formed Laurie Records) made No. 22 on the
U.S. charts. Dion said of the Belmonts; "I'd give 'em sounds. I'd give 'em parts and stuff.
That's what 'I Wonder Why' was about. We kind of invented this percussive rhythmic sound. If
you listen to that song, everybody was doing something different. There's four guys, one guy
was doing bass, I was singing lead, one guy's going 'ooh wah ooh,' and another guy's doing
tenor. It was totally amazing. When I listen to it today, oftentimes I think, 'man, those
kids are talented.'"[4]
Their initial hit was followed by "No One Knows" and "Don't Pity Me", which also charted the
Billboard Top 100. This success won a place for Dion and the Belmonts on the ill-fated "The
Winter Dance Party" tour with Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, the Big Bopper (J.P. Richardson),
Frankie Sardo, and other performers. On February 3, 1959, after a concert stop in Clear
Lake, Iowa, Holly and others decided to charter a flight to the next venue rather than
travel on the tour bus. Dion was invited to accompany the group but decided that he did not
want to spend $36 for the flight, as it was the same monthly rent his parents paid for his
childhood apartment and he couldn't justify the indulgence.[5][6] The plane crashed, killing
all on board: Holly, Valens, Richardson, and the pilot Roger Peterson. Dion and the Belmonts
continued on the tour, along with Frankie Sardo, while Bobby Vee, then an unknown artist,
performed in Holly's place at the very next concert. Later, Jimmy Clanton, Frankie Avalon,
and Fabian were added to replace the other now-deceased headliners.
Dion and the Belmonts' next single, "A Teenager in Love", was released in March 1959,
eventually hitting No. 5 on the U.S. pop charts and No. 28 in the UK.[7] The group's biggest
hit, "Where or When", was released in November of that year, and reached No. 3 on the U.S.
charts. However, in early 1960, Dion checked into hospital for heroin addiction, a problem
he had had since his mid-teens.[8] Further single releases for the group that year were less
successful. There were musical, personal and financial differences between Dion and members
of the Belmonts, and in October 1960, Dion decided to quit for a solo career. By the time of
their breakup, all eight Laurie releases had charted on the Hot 100.
Solo stardom: 1960–1964[edit]
By the end of 1960, Dion had released his first solo album on Laurie, Alone with Dion, and
the single "Lonely Teenager", which rose to No. 12 in the US charts. The name on his solo
releases was simply "Dion". Follow-ups "Havin' Fun" and "Kissin' Game" had less success, and
the signs were that Dion would drift onto the cabaret circuit. However, he then recorded,
with a new vocal group, the Del-Satins, an up-tempo number co-written with Ernie Maresca.
The record, "Runaround Sue", stormed up the U.S. charts, reaching No. 1 in October 1961, and
No. 11 in the UK,[7] where he also toured. "Runaround Sue" sold over a million copies,
achieving gold disc status.[9]
For the next single, Laurie promoted the A-side, "The Majestic", but it was the B-side,
Maresca's "The Wanderer", which received more radio play and climbed swiftly up the charts
to reach No. 2 in the U.S. in February 1962 and No. 10 in the UK (the 1976 re-release made
the UK Top 20).[7] "The Wanderer" has been used in the post-apocalyptic role-playing game
Fallout 4, both in-game and in a trailer of the same name released in 2015.
By the end of 1961, Dion had become a major star, touring worldwide and making an appearance
in the Columbia Pictures musical film Twist Around the Clock. In 1962, he followed with a
string of singles he wrote or co-wrote including "Lovers Who Wander" (No. 3), "Little Diane"
(No. 8), "Love Came to Me" (No. 10). He also had successful albums with Runaround Sue and
Lovers Who Wander.
At the end of 1962, Dion moved from Laurie to Columbia Records; he was the first rock and
roll artist signed to the label, which was an anomaly considering that its then-A&R
director, Mitch Miller, loathed that particular genre of music. The first Columbia single,
Leiber and Stoller's "Ruby Baby" (originally a hit for the Drifters) reached No. 2, while
"Donna the Prima Donna" and "Drip Drop" (another remake of a Drifters hit) both reached No.
6 in late 1963. (Dion also recorded an Italian version of "Donna the Prima Donna" using the
identical backup vocals.) His other Columbia releases were less successful, and problems
with his addiction and changing public tastes, especially The British Invasion, saw a period
of commercial decline.
Changing fortunes: 1965–1968[edit]
Following a European tour, Dion returned to the U.S. and was introduced to classic blues by
Columbia’s John Hammond. To the consternation of his management, he began recording more
blues-oriented material, including Willie Dixon's "Hoochie Coochie Man" and "Spoonful", but
these releases – some produced by Tom Wilson, with Al Kooper on keyboards – were not
commercially successful. In 1965, still with Columbia, Dion formed a new group to back him,
The Wanderers, composed of John Falbo on guitar, Pete Baron (Pete Falciglia) on bass, and
Carlo Mastrangelo of The Belmonts on drums. They made national appearances on Dick Clark's,
Where The Action Is, and The Lloyd Thaxton Show. A number of self-penned tracks were
recorded and released unsuccessfully as singles, and did not appear in album format until
years later. In June 1965 he recorded fellow Columbia Records's contemporary Bob Dylan's
composition "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" a half-year before Them (featuring Van
Morrison)'s hit version.
In 1966–67, Dion briefly reunited with The Belmonts, recording the LP Together Again for ABC
Records. The album was unsuccessful, despite one classic self-penned song, "My Girl the
Month of May". Two singles were released from the LP. While neither charted in the United
States, they fared better in the UK. "My Girl The Month of May" entered the "Radio London
Fab 40" top ten at No. 9 the week of December 25, 1966. One reviewer stated, "some British
radio DJs gave it a lot of airplay at the time."[This quote needs a citation] The follow up,
"Movin' Man", reached No. 17 on the "Radio London" charts on Easter Sunday, March 26, 1967.
"My Girl The Month of May" was later covered by English artists Alan Bown in 1967, and The
Bunch (featuring Sandy Denny of Fairport Convention) in April 1972. During their brief mid
60's reunion, Dion and the Belmonts appeared on the popular "Clay Cole Show" performing
"Berimbau" and "My Girl The Month of May", and occasionally performed at local New York City
clubs such as "The Mardi Gras" on Staten Island (April 29, 1967) before disbanding. While
Dion's career appeared to be nearing an end, he still retained enough credibility to be,
along with Bob Dylan, one of only two rock artists featured on the album cover of the
Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in 1967.
In April 1968, Dion experienced what he identified as a powerful religious experience. After
getting clean once again from heroin addiction, an experience he documented in his 1970 song
"Your Own Backyard", he approached Laurie Records for a new contract. They agreed on
condition that he record the song "Abraham, Martin & John", written by Dick Holler (also the
writer of the Royal Guardsmen's "Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron") in response to the assassination
of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 and those of Martin Luther King and Robert F.
Kennedy during the spring of 1968. The success of this song – released by Dion in August
1968 and later recorded by many others including Marvin Gaye – which reached No. 4 in the US
charts and No. 1 in Canada, resuscitated Dion's career. It sold over one million copies, and
was awarded a gold disc.[10]
Mature and Christian period: 1969–1986[edit]
For the next few years, Dion's music became radically different, moving to more
contemplative and mature material. He released several albums essentially as a singer-
songwriter, to moderate sales, moving to the Warner Brothers label in 1969.
There followed a live reunion show with the Belmonts at Madison Square Garden on June 2,
1972, which was recorded and released as a live album by Warner. A year later, in 1973, Dion
and the original Belmonts performed once more, doing a sold out concert at the Nassau
Coliseum on Long Island, New York. However, no recording of the 1973 reunion was ever
released. This was followed in 1975 by the album Born to Be with You produced by Phil
Spector. The album was a commercial failure, but has been subsequently praised by such
artists as Jason Pierce of Spiritualized and Pete Townshend of The Who and the track 'Only
You Know' was sampled by Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker for his single "Don't Let Him Waste
Your Time" from his 2006 solo album Jarvis.
In 1978, Dion released an album drawing on many of his teenage influences, Return of the
Wanderer, another commercial failure.
In December 1979, there was a radical spiritual change in Dion, who had become a born-again
Christian.[11] Thereafter, his recordings for several years were in a contemporary Christian
vein, in which he released five albums on the DaySpring Records label, a division of Word
Records in Waco, Texas. These albums reflecting his evangelical Christian convictions were
Inside Job (1980), Only Jesus (1981), I Put Away My Idols (1983) which charted at No. 37,
Seasons (1984), Kingdom in the Streets (1985) and Velvet & Steel (1986). Several singles
were successfully released to Christian radio, notably "Still in the Spirit" from Kingdom in
the Streets.
In 1984, Dion won the GMA Dove Award (Christian Music Award) for the album I Put Away My
Idols. He was also nominated for Grammy Award for Best Gospel Vocal Performance, Male for
the same album.
On September 24, 1985, Dion was a guest on 100 Huntley Street.
Return to secular music and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction and controversy: 1987–1999
[edit]
In 1987, Dion agreed to do a concert of his old hits at Radio City Music Hall in New York.
The two disc CD of this concert was released in 2005, featuring concert photos by Dion's
friend, Michael J. Friedman. This concert helped free him to celebrate both his past and his
future, and led to a series of special appearances, including a fundraiser for homeless
medical relief. There he shared the stage with fans such as Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon
and Lou Reed, all of whom cited Dion as one of their prime influences.
In 1988, Dion's autobiography (co-authored by Davin Seay) titled The Wanderer: Dion's Story
was published.
In 1989, DiMucci returned to rock music with the contemporary album Yo Frankie, which
included appearances by Paul Simon, Lou Reed, k.d. lang, Patty Smyth and Bryan Adams.[12]
Produced by Dave Edmunds (who also played guitar on the album), "Yo Frankie has a sharp
sound while never losing sight of Dion's soulful, doo-wop voice."[13] Overall, "the relevant
and nostalgic statement from an artist who helped forge rock & roll's first wave" found his
way back on radio and in music videos during this period (both on VH1 and MTV), as well as
touring.[14][15][16][17]

Dion was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 (with a moving introduction by
Lou Reed).[18] Controversially, when Dion's solo induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame occurred, the other original members of the Belmonts (Carlo Mastrangelo, Fred Milano,
and Angelo D'Aleo) were not inducted, and as of 2019, have yet to be.[19] In a Billboard
Magazine article, dated January 3, 2012, it was stated: "There was strife between DiMucci
and Belmonts members, who were not pleased when DiMucci was inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame without them in 1989."[20]
In the late 1990s, Dion visited his old Bronx parish, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and returned
to Catholicism.[21] Sparking Dion's reversion to Catholicism was "a chance viewing of the
Journey Home program on EWTN."[22] On May 1, 2006, Dion appeared on The Journey Home program
and discussed his wanderings from Catholicism to Protestantism and back again.[23]
DiMucci joined Scott Kempner and Frank Funaro of the Del-Lords and Mike Mesaros of the
Smithereens in a short-lived band called Little Kings. A live album was later released, but
not widely circulated or promoted.[24]
Most recent work: 2000s–2010s[edit]
Dion has released several albums with contemporary rock artists. His Déjà Nu album in 2000
found him covering Bruce Springsteen, a major follower over the years. He joined Bruce
Springsteen onstage in Miami in 2002 for a performance of "If I Should Fall Behind" from
Dream on Fire.
In 2002, Dion was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for "Runaround Sue". He continues to
perform songs from his albums live; one concert in 2004 was recorded for release on DVD.[25]
In January 2006, Dion released Bronx in Blue, an album of blues and country standards, which
was nominated for a Grammy. In November 2007 he issued a follow-up in similar vein, Son of
Skip James.
In October 2008, DiMucci released Heroes: Giants of Early Guitar Rock, an album of his
covers of early rock and roll songs he considers seminal to the genre.[26] The album
includes versions of songs originally recorded by Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, Ricky Nelson,
Johnny Cash and many other early rock guitarists.[27]
In October 2009, Dion performed "The Wanderer" with Paul Simon at the 25th Anniversary Rock
& Roll Hall of Fame Concert.[28]
Now a practicing Roman Catholic, Dion pursues prison ministry and reaches out to men going
through addiction recovery. He was a member of the American board of directors of Renewal
Ministries in 2004.[29] He currently lives in Boca Raton, Florida, and New York City.
On January 24, 2012, Dion released a new album, Tank Full of Blues.
As of 2015, Dion was still touring. On April 5, 2015, Dion performed "Donna the Prima Donna"
live in Las Vegas.[30] On July 11, 2015, he held a concert in Westbury, New York.[31]
In 2015, he released a single, New York Is My Home, with Paul Simon. Dion had previously
worked with Simon on his 1989 hit Written on the Subway Wall.[32] The single was followed by
the album New York Is My Home, released February 12, 2016.[33]
Dion planned four concerts in the U.S. during early 2016.[34] Dion was invited as a keynote
speaker for the 2016 SXSW in Texas. He spoke on the topic A Conversation with Dion: Rock's
Enduring Voice on March 17, 2016.[35]
In May 2017, Dion released Kickin' Child: The Lost Album 1965, songs recorded in 1965 when
he was with Columbia, who did not release them; the current album is from Norton Records.
[36]
Also released in May 2017 was Richard Barone's Sorrows & Promises: Greenwich Village in the
1960s on which Dion performs a duet of his 1964 song "The Road I'm On (Gloria)" with Barone.
The album is a celebration of the New York City scene that Dion was part of during that
pivotal era.
The Wanderer musical
On October 13, 2011, an industry-only reading of a new play about Dion's life was performed
in New York City.
In a December 9, 2011 article in The New York Times, Dion and his collaborator,
writer/director Charles Messina, discussed details about the project, titled The Wanderer:
The Life and Music of Dion, revealing that it will focus on the years between 1957 until the
late 60s and will feature more than 20 songs from that era as well as new, original music.
In the article, Dion gave his perspective on the story: "You know, I always saw my story as
a young Sopranos with great music and a Rocky Graziano Somebody Up There Likes Me ending.
It's a story of redemption. A rock and roll redemption story!"
On December 16, 2017, DiMucci revealed that Michael Wartella would be starring in The
Wanderer. There was a reading of the musical on November 2, 2017 and it continues to be
worked on.

The Perito Moreno Glacier, a declared UNESCO World Heritage site is located 78km west of El Calafate in the Santa Cruz region of Patagonian Argentina and is is one of 48 glaciers in Patagonian Argentina and Chile.
The Perito Moreno Glacier covers an area of 255 square km, is 30km long and 5km wide, 50 to 70m above lake level and about 100m below. At its deepest point, the ice is 700 m thick, although the average is much less at approximately 170m.
Without doubt this massive glacier was one of the most accessible and visually stunning natural phenomenons I have seen anywhere in the world.
My first sight of the glacier at Curva de Los Suspiros lookout belied its massive size but when I finally got up close to the southern ice face in Brazo Rico in a cruise boat I was absolutely stunned by its sheer enormity. That was just the start of the experience and after the cruise we traveled a short distance around the Magallanes Peninsula to the lengthy boardwalk viewing platform where panoramic viewing of the eastern and northern terminus faces was possible. From the boardwalk one could see and hear massive chunks of ice calving off the glacier as it moved inexorably forward at a rate reported to be around 1.5 to 2m per day.
At the time of my visit in March 2003 the Perito Moreno Glacier was one of the few glaciers in the world that was considered stable, ie. not retreating. Both the Upsala and San Rafael Glaciers which I also visited in South America were clearly, by comparison dramatically receding.
The interesting thing about the Perito Moreno Glacier is that at times, after of a lot of ice buildup, the glacier terminus actually reaches land at the tip of the Magallanes Peninsula. When this happens the ice buildup completely blocks Brazo Rico damming it off from the northern Canal de Temanos, causing Lago Argentino to be divided into two distinct water bodies with the southern water body, Brazo Rico's water volume rising as much as 25-30m higher than the water level in the northern Canal de Tempanos.
Eventually the water finds a weak point, a rupture occurs, and water under great pressure crashes through from Brazo Rico into Canal de Tempanos in one massive and no doubt spectacular flooding event which of course is eagerly awaited by Glaciologists, TV news crews and tourists alike. This rupture event has tended to occur about once every 4-5 years. The last such rupture event occurred on January 19, 2013, and previously, March 4, 2012, 2008, 2006, 2004, 1988, 1986, 1980, 1977, 1975, 1972, 1970, 1966, 1963, 1960, 1956, 1953, 1952, 1947, 1940, 1934 and 1917. Wikipedia
So mesmerized was this monster glacier was I that I almost failed to allocate enough time to actually photograph it. I spent considerable time just walking up and down the long boardwalk, completely captivated by the awesomeness of the ice landscape in my view, listening to its constant rumbling sounds and becoming completely immersed in the sheer wonder of it all.
My patent shoes decided to celebrate the new year with a bit taste of mud... and here comes how they got muddy!

Do NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO UNLESS you are prepared to be shocked and horrified by what you will see, and yet witness great photography of the human existance that tjat has been left behind for those who have survived this most powerful disaster of great magnitude!
The words keep coming to me, "There but for the Grace Of God go I"
We had an 4.4 Earthquake here on the southerrn coast of Califonia about 6:30 am this morning shortly after I posted this! Scary, in retrospect!!!!!
Living here in Southern California I cannot say that this possiability does not cross my mind every day, and I know that I am NOT prepared, and if nothing else this does,( and it does much more to me,) but the one thing I have done is begun to prepare myself for the possibiity of such an occuance here, and the chance of survivial, who would come to help us? Our neighbors, oiur friends, everyone would help in some way. and that is what needs to be done now.
This is a powefull, very powerful video, don't watch it if, you are sensitive to pain and suffering of our neighbors and our friends the Haitian people.

Australia sent an email to me about this koala. I will post a link here.
Heartwarming.

Video, galleries and how to donate.Full coverage from Victoria
CANBERRA (Reuters) - A love story between two badly burned koalas rescued from Australia's deadliest bushfires has provided some heart-warming relief after days of devastation and the loss of over 180 lives.
The story of Sam and her new boyfriend Bob emerged after volunteer firefighter Dave Tree used a mobile phone to film the rescue of the bewildered female found cowering in a burned out forest at Mirboo North, 150 km (90 miles) southeast of Melbourne .
Photos and a video of Tree, 44, approaching Sam while talking gently to her, and feeding her water from a plastic bottle as she put her burned claw in his cold, wet hand quickly hit video sharing website YouTube (www.youtube.com/watch?v=do9AoKyjjQg), making her an Internet sensation.
But it was after reaching a wildlife shelter that Sam met and befriended Bob, who was saved by wildlife workers on Friday , two days before Sam, in Boolarra, about 180 km from Melbourne .
Tree, who has been a volunteer firefighter for 26 years, said it was extremely rare to get so close to a koala so he asked his colleague Brayden Groen, 20, to film him.
"You can how she stops and moves forward and looks at me. It was like a look saying "I can't run, I'm weak and sore, put me out of my misery,"" Tree told Reuters.
"I yelled out for some water and I sat down with her and tipped the water up. It was in my hand and she reached for the bottle then put her right claw into my left hand which was cold so it must have given her some pain relief and she just left it there. It was just amazing."
INSPIRING LOVE STORY
Sam was taken to the Southern Ash Wildlife Shelter in Rawson. Her story was reminiscent of a koala named Lucky who survived the 2003 bushfires that destroyed about 500 homes and killed four people in the capital of Canberra. Lucky became a symbol of hope.
Colleen Wood from the Southern Ash Wildlife Shelter that is caring for Sam and Bob said both koalas were doing well while other animals like possums, kangaroos, and wallabies were also starting to emerge from the debris.
She said Sam had suffered second degree burns to her paws and would take seven to eight months to recover while Bob had three burned paws with third degree burns and should be well enough to return to the bush in about four months.
"They keep putting their arms around each other and giving each other hugs. They really have made friends and it is quite beautiful to see after all this. It's been horrific," said Wood.
"Sam is probably aged between two to four going by her teeth and Bob is about four so they have a muchness with each other."
Wood said about 20 koalas had been brought into her shelter in recent days, several of whom had bonded as koalas are known to clump together, but none had garnered the same attention as the new Internet star Sam.
Tree, a volunteer with the Country Fire Authority Victoria, has visited Sam since her rescue and was delighted to see she had found a boyfriend in Bob.
"They've really taken a shine to each other as they are both burned and share the same burned smell," he said.
"My heart goes out to the people in these fires and this was so innocent so people have used this to distract them from all the sad stuff that has gone on. It gives people a bit of hope."
Donations for bushfire support can be made to the Country Fire Authority Victoria via their website at www.cfa.vic.gov.au/about/supportingcfa.htm.

As a responsible guardian, did I or did I not warn them, try to reason with them? My conscience is clear...."you are not in good enough shape" I said, "you are not experienced enough to brave the slopes; your arms are too short to box with god...besides you don't have winter clothing; fact is: you have no clothing...."
But "No!" they screamed, "we are going snow boarding....fuck you and your old geezer mentality...afraid of adventure....one foot in the grave, the other in a pile of dogshit....you are too boring for words," they said.....and off they went.....
The melting snow of spring sadly reveals the consequences of their bravado and folly (and yet, I still have one foot in the grave and the other in a pile of dogshit....and so it goes)

This is a mirrorless camera with lots of pixels and super 14.7 oz light weight magnesium. I hope to keep my Canon 5D Mk III but will try to sell my mark II and an original 5D.
My canon G 12 is a piece of crap! More problems than you can count but canon sees nothing wrong on their account!
BTW anyone ever check out utube Canon boy Nikon Girl? A great laugh!
As seen at an open exhibition of non- digital film animations, they made stunning objects in their own right. next to each was a short clip on a screen showing their starring part in the film.
