Behind The Scene Three

Another fascination I have is with the not so obvious……the behind the scenes happenings, people etc. Here a cameraman caught my attention. He was projecting his large images behind the stage performers making them appear much larger than life.

One Man Band Four

As I reviewed my experience of the Blues Festival I realised apart from my love of the music my main interests are PASSION and ORIGINALITY. Those artists who give their most to create something which is compelling and truly themselves. Even when this music may not be my favorite I am still engaged to watch and listen. I think most people are the same.

PASSION and ORIGINALITY was evident in 8 Ball Aiken and in todays post of Uptown Brown………a true original one man band! With simple means both engaged their audiences in unique ways. Both intimate and personal they shared a magic which the powerful 10,000 watt huge main stage at the other end of the street could not. Don’t get me wrong I loved both. The all embracing blasting sound of 4 or 5 or more musicians contained within the main stage each giving their special contributing to a 75 minute performance was amazing but…….

The Jesters Of Reality Three

The Jesters love to play with perspective and that is obvious here. Somehow they have created a runway pattern for the man to walk between and a sharp edge for the dog to guide their female owner. Of course this is all illusionary and can change at any moment thus throwing everything into chaos……..The Jesters love this too!

The Journeys Of Apollo have continued over the years and today we were both surprised to discover……..

Naturally we sat and absorbed all the knowledge we could. Feeling much better and full of knowledge we continued our journey and kept our eyes open to see if we could find another bench…..maybe a Bench Of Creativity, Bench Of Happiness, Bench Of Prosperity, Bench Of……..etc.

Over 3 years ago when I was doing morning walks I discovered an amazing tree…..The Tree Of Knowledge. Here is one blog

So it seems I am getting clear messages to get KNOWLEDGE!
