Ruby Tuesday

It's RUBY TUESDAY!


If you are unfamiliar with RUBY TUESDAY, then you must head on over and visit Mary/The Teach.

Here is my contribution. Taken a few years back, this dead tree caught my eye. I always called this photo "Serpent". When I added brightness and contrast to the original and then colorized it something popped out to my eye. On the front left, it looks like a dogs head in mid bark...

OK, so maybe it is just me and my creativity (in my mind) has run wild...but that is my story and I am sticking to it! (it will get very large if you click on it)




This is the original picture so y'all can see I did not add the head.



Well, the head I see...I still don't know if YOU will see it...

Let me know in your sparks comments...let 'er rip, I can take it...


OK, yesterday Dana commented "I am a HUGE fan of music that steps out of the -oh-so-common 4/4 time signature. I really enjoyed this one!"

Well, that got me thinking Billy Cobham or The Mahavishnu Orchestra, but I have not gotten that far along on my digitizing.

Well that led me to YES...but as I was scrolling, this song hit my eye...THIS is anything but 4/4 time signature...from Pink Floyd's first album, "Ummagumma", this is something that hit me when I first heard it and I love what he does...

He is Roger Waters. Ummagumma was a two disc set. The first disc is composed of live performances, including the brilliant "Be Careful With That Axe Eugene". The second disc allowed each musician a chance to go into the studio and record something.

The track consists of several minutes of noises resembling rodents and birds simulated by Waters' voice and other techniques, such as tapping the microphone played at different speeds, followed by Waters providing a few stanzas of quasi-lyrics in an exaggerated Scottish brogue.

The Picts were the indigenous people of what is now Scotland that merged with the Scots.

There is a "hidden message" in the song at approximately 4:34. If played at a slower speed, Waters can be heard to say, "That was pretty avant-garde, wasn't it?". Also, at the very end of the rant, Waters is heard to say "and the wind cried Mary", followed by "Thank you".

Some will find this the worst thing they have ever heard, some might not care either way and a smaller group will enjoy it. Some will call for the straight-jacket brigade to visit Memphis!

"Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" YUP! That is the full title of this composition.

Lifelogger is being itself and acting funky. Sometimes I see the player, sometimes I do not. Normally reloading the window will fix it.

  3. I like the pic. I might stay with "Serpent" as the title. It's a bit of a stretch to see a dogs head at mid bark. You really gotta want to see that to make it happen.
