New board, now functional for 3 or 4 person circles. Far, far from complete, but now usable.

Yesterday we had three three person circles.

The middle circle, songs 13 through 24, we engaged the rarely executed “Hellequin” option. Meaning, we reversed the order of the circle. It took all of our collective mind power to keep it honest and we did, and what great rewards ensued! And then, for the third and final circle, we proceeded as normal. Very interesting curling in and curling out of song selection and stations of the circle.

Here is what we played:

Pretty nice, right?

The Sheriff, The Caliph, and The Professor joined me here, at The New Great Hall by the Sea for the first Circle of 2020. Before we got going awards were given out. First to Visitor Blim for visiting the cats during our spontaneous trip to Vega$:

In Vega$ we had a customized chocolate bar created for a Blim.

Many thanks!

Next was the annual handoff of The Haverhast. Haverhast the Tenth to Beachmont Frank (for F2):

It being January the 13th we were able to toast to Mr Gurdjieff and King Crimson.

And Pay tribute to Neil Peart. Here’s what was played:

Pretty nice, right?

The last four tracks were from an esoteric concert I attended of Turkish music. So beautiful.

Just in time for the final danse round, Chip Adderson arrived. This was followed by the feast and a couple more toasts (thanks to Chip’s gift of Armagnac) to Mr Gurdjieff.
