Once upon a time, way back when, a young pirate singer had a day in the park, and we wrote some words, and took some pictures

The beauty of Denmark.
Ancestral place of…happiness.
This is Helsingor, Denmark.
This is Han.

*Han is 5.9 feet (180 cm) tall, cast in polished steel with a mirror-like surface. The artwork does not have its own color. Instead, it’s colored by the surroundings, which varies with the time, the weather, and the angle of view. An electronic device makes the sculpture blink at irregular intervals so that only the lucky or patient ones get to experience the blinking eyes. This way, the viewers need to dwell on the artwork to get the full benefit, not rush by.

2026, I’ll be back.

The Drum Barbarian himself, Mr. Carl Palmer on an archive photo from a Montreal show years gone by.
A drum spectacle for the ages, and a night of ELP music put forth by Carl Palmer’s band.
Live music is a must.

Deepest Sympathies and Condolences on the passing of Paul Martin (Paul, Pol, Sir Paul, Brother Paul) one of the first two of the bredren that became/formed the Blushing Brides. A great and dynamic musician, and driving force, that became a musical pairing for the ages with Maurice Raymond, along with forging the greatest of friendships with him and his band mates onstage and offstage as well.
Condolences to the families of Paul, of blood, of music. You made those around feel connected, and part of that family. Rest in power.
Glad to be a Brother of the Brides, and to have been party to your musical magic and mayhem over the decades.
Rest in Power.

Peter, Peter, Peter…
Another fun capture from a fun night that was overdue.
A great guitar friend from “the old days”.
Still a fantastic player with a great taste, tone, and stage presence.
The “look” says it all.
