Monday’s Circle Game in honour of BMF’s upcoming birthday was a triumph, playlist forthcoming …

Another highlight was the Full Moon concert here at TNGHbtS. Herr O played along to new track “Y-Myrelysis” part 1a. We then covered “Heard it in a love song” and concluded with MP classic “If you want to danse”.

A triumph topped off with an evening ablution under the full moon …

Meanwhile, we are currently rehearsing for our next concert in Central Park on Sunday August 7th. If interested, make contact.

Here it is, until July 22nd: Mid Summer.  Monday and Thursdays offer more flexibility for GTs.

At the Summer wrap party I sacrificed a lobster that I then used for a pizza I made on the grill.  The dough was hand made too:

I’ll be at my annual June sabbatical for the next week, but in the meantime, here are some fine depictions of the Summer Kick off Circle.

Thanks to OLG for the catering and to BMF for those new “memes”.

After song 30 we had an ablution.  Song 31 was the exit music:

Pretty nice, right?

Consider attending our July 4th/Summer Wrap event, this year on July 3rd

May All Attain!

… Sir Christopher Lee returned to glory.  Late last week “The Greatest”, “The Champ”, Muhammad Ali also returned to glory. Here is an interesting story I never knew about either:

Sir Christopher Lee on Muhammad Ali

“Is it true Muhammad Ali once dedicated a fight to you?

It is. I was promoting a film in Cleveland in 1975 and this PR man said, “Muhammad Ali is in town promoting a title fight [the Thrilla In Manila clash with Joe Frazier]. He’s a big fan and would love to meet you.” We went to this hotel, we had a long chat and I promised to watch the fight back in LA.

I actually went to [Playboy founder] Hugh Hefner’s mansion to watch it, along with a bunch of celebrities and a few boxers. At the end of the fight – which Ali won – this reporter shoved a mike under Ali’s face… “Do you have anything to say to your fans?” Ali says, “Yes. I just want to say that I won this fight for Christopher Lee, who’s out there watching me now.” I couldn’t believe it, because that’s a million dollars’ worth of publicity.

And when the lights came up, people were looking at me, stunned. And this black boxer said, “How did you do that?” I said, “Magic. Black magic.” Thank God he laughed!”

Visitor Blim and Beachmont Frank joined for an incredible Circle.  Here’s what was spun:

Pretty nice, right?

Tracks 1-24 represent 2 3-person Full Olympic Circles.  25 and beyond was on call mingling with the catered sushi. Blim made his exit during track 33.

If interested in a rare May 14th Saturday night Circle  … make contact ASAP.  This opportunity may never occur again

Wow.

The lights.

The lasagna.

The music.

The Good Times:

The Set List:

Pretty nice, right?

It must be noted that Visitor Blim’s last track was number 25: Echoes, which was the soundtrack for the lasagna eating.  BMF left as track 28 was ending.

Yesterday Visitor Blim returned for another Circle:

Persian Egg Casserole:

While “Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast” played:

(It should be noted, the eggs came via Herr O’s sister Joan who grows chickens or something like that.)

We played one full supreme 2 person Olympic circle and 3/4’s a standard 2 person olympic:

Pretty nice, right?
