At the Stinkfoot Orchestra show, I was introduced to a mystery about the recently released 50th anniversary multi-disk release of FZ’s Apostrophe (’). This set includes a live concert from 1974 that was recorded in Colorado Springs that included Napoleon Murphy Brock performing.

The merch guy told me that no one knows what the venue was where that was recorded. I assume internet searching has been done and probably in the archive as well but it might not have included the name of the venue. I hope at least a couple of my friends might have memories that go that far back more or less

Where would Frank Zappa have played in Colorado Springs in 1974?

Stinkfoot Orchestra stage. I am front and center, and I got someone to buy the ticket for $20 (only lost $3) and I have a friend for the night who didn’t know this was happening and was here for the jazz downstairs.

I read some poetic or inspirational thing yesterday about making a mark in the world. You know… Raise a kid. Build a home. Plant a tree.

I planted this tree in about 1989. It was a volunteer from a seed from the silver maple behind it. I transplanted it near the road. It was about 3’ tall when I planted it.

Silver maples suck for climbing. They don’t have a very robust branching structure like some other, more climbable, maple trees. So i decided to make this one easier to climb by inducing branching like i would have done with some of my other plant friends ;)

I was planning to do other things to it but I only lived there a couple more years after I planted it. I think it’s interesting that the branching caused by my topping has grown upwards as the tree has matured.

I guess that makes my tree about 35 years old. The mama tree behind is probably from the 1950s or 1960s

I’m tired of hinting.

I’m in Longmont, who wants to play Risk?

This is my friend Hawker, Rainbow brother from way back, who lives in Asheville. Rainbow Family stepping up out there from what I have seen.

From Rick’s top comment:

I don’t have enough bandwidth or time to share. Can someone of my Rainbow friends perhaps share to Rainbow groups from the Asheville music tools page (not mine, it is set private so sharing is not effective) and talk about how GAP is Rainbow and grew from Katrina and sandy. Perhaps Karen Cecilio or Karin Zirk can you help share?

This piece reminds me of a drumcircle. They’ve been touring for a couple weeks now and YouTube is making it possible to be like you’re seeing all the shows, and there are small changes. Adrian and Tony have been playing this music for decades. I caught one time where Adrian was expecting a stinger from the drums at the end of one song except Danny didn’t do it and so Adrian raised his hands for nothing.
