Here are 2 more from that lost disc roll I mentioned.  A remember these two as being particularly poignant at the time:

As part of the overhaul going on in The Dining Room here at The New Great Hall by the Sea, many photographs have come to light.  What’s interesting to note, is this photograph came from a disc-roll from either 1986 or 1987.  It remained in the file cabinet until Fall 1996.  The pictures are astonishing.  Some saw the “reveal” back then, but that, too, is now Then Yesterday.  Here is one of the gems:

The Host and Christopher W. Chrobak.  I remember we were very “into” this style of intentional portraiture.

Enthusiast’s of the now defunct “Team Tohosky” may marvel at the wall hanging situated ‘tween our heads.

More to come in weeks ahead …

Janice sent me a text this morning, apparently today is Ronnie Van Zant’s birthday.  He would’ve been 63.  Imus was playing Freebird on his morning program as a tribute.  So between that, and numerous requests to see my documentary aired, it’s now on youtube.  I guess it was too big for vimeo.  I suspect the audio will be shut down in days ahead so check it out ASAP:

The documentary marks the transitional time between salons, the spiritual journey in Jacksonville, a love of Good Times, and love of my wife.

… and life.

A grand feast day it was.  Joined by Visitor Blim and Winthrop Frank, we executed two complete Full Olympic Standard Three-Person Circles, with the novel variation of Host going First.  

Pretty nice, right?

The last song was also played by The Host as Exit music.

An Indianne Lamb feast was prepared and enjoyed on The Table. 

Here’s to the opportunity for a fantastic year ahead, Now Today.

Mr Gurdjieff’s birthday has been celebrated for many years, even during his lifetime, on January 13th.  This year the local Society held it’s annual feast on Saturday the 11th.

This year the actual 13th is on a Monday, and being “free”, We, here at The New Great Hall by the Sea will be having a special Circle Game Feast.

Coincidentally, or perhaps not-so coincidentally, Robert Fripp (a well-known advocate of many aspects of what Gurdjieff presented and probably the first point of introduction for many May 14th readers) has made it known that  King Crimson first rehearsed on January 13th 1969.

Should make for an interesting Celebration and Feast.  Make contact if Available.

Few heard the first album.

The second may remain “forever ” in the works.

But, the following is a live take from NYE at TNGHbtS of another new track by The New Winter Nightmare Ensemble

As You Are (live)

It’s true.

Welcome to the future.

A great season.

We’ll see some of you for BSMXIV .
