Yesterday we celebrated the first Pool Circle of the season. Participants added 70 minutes of material each, then, set to shuffle, we enjoyed a “pace in the pool”. BMF provided the venue and housemade catering. Here is what the day looked like:

Here is the list of tracks. Not in the order played – only the Gods of Random Shuffling will ever know.

Pretty nice, right?

Meanwhile, the ever fragile roses of The Garden at Fire Plaza begin another season:

Wow.

The power of a four person circle is un-matched.

New participant Bob returned for his first “Official” Circle.  We were joined by Beachmont Frank and Visitor Blim.  However, before the music started, we had a remarkable culinary experience with the debut of the Emerald Salad Mold (a recipe from a book published in 1958):

Note, the final track, “Echoes” was live from Boston in 1975 and played whilst the catering of lamb coconut curry was consumed.

It’ll be a few weeks before the next Monday Circle.  However, do consider seeing Franks rock act next Monday at O’Briens in Allston.

Also, be at the ready for a few potential Sunday evening Circles this Summer.
