What I find so intriguing with the above posted video-song & one main reason I shared it, is because of the group-Work exemplified. All participants working earnestly, to produce harmony.

Strings plucked, strummed, and/or bowed. Brass & Wind. Percussion. Voice.

The drummer’s tiny bells are saucer-shaped, like little UFOs. Perhaps for The Fish!

Squire, a Pisces, entitled his 1st solo album, Fish Out Of Water.

Of note: When the varied bassists play the 4 notes, one per string, they are using a technique called “harmonics.”

Normally, if one depresses a string to fret it, then releases it, this always produces under-/overtones. This is fine & gives the note a “round-richness” which we are ordinarily accustomed to.

But with harmonics, a sharper/cleaner/crisper focus is produced. It’s just an interesting technique & sound.

The lightest momentary touch, upon a tensed string, simultaneously plucked, to sound. As Jon writes so crisply, let us take Inspiration & find also that light touch, that draws the Ear & captivates so.

The corpus-song in which this arrangement is built around, is the song, The Fish.

However, embedded within are portions of Squire’s Fish Out Of Water songs: Lucky Seven & Safe (Canon Song), as well as YES songs: Tempus Fugit &
[wait for it…]
…On The Silent Wings Of Freedom.

Miguel did a spot-on arrangement.

A Wonderful Ode, to a pioneer musician.

ROCK ON!

Jon’s recent Nazi-themed Piece has haunted me since its reading. I somehow, cannot wash away its fervor from within me.

Nor should I.

Sillily, I have not showered since (much to the protestations of my wife), nor do I wish at this time to rinse away the Clarion steeping from me.

TRUE ACCOUNT:

I must have been about 4 years old. I was not even in kindergarten yet. I was watching TV.

A scene appeared of a cachectic man, seated upon the ground, back against a wall, emaciated, weakened, threadbare.

He was waving his single arm “away” at the cameraman, in a anemic protest, not to image him, in his present state.

I began to violently weep uncontrollably. My abdomen was contracting convulsively.

I didn’t understand why. I was a mere child.

As I write this, the memory is as clear as a painted azure sky.

In retrospect, it must have been a documentary of the Holocaust.

I’m not Jewish, but I view Judaism as the cradle of Christianity.

He remarked that his favorite task during this time of rest & renewal, was doing the laundry & watching the faces of the people about their ordinary tasks.

Looking out the window of his flat one day, he spied & felt the oppressiveness of The Wall.

In that Moment, he also made witness to a simple gesture of love.

This Inspired him to write the song Heroes.

It was not initially listened to.

“We can be heroes,
Whatcha say…”

The Music I offered (Our) Fish above opens with a portion of The Firebird Suite by composer Igor Stravinsky. Written in 1910 for the Paris ballet.

The ballet centers on the journey of its hero, Prince Ivan.
While hunting in the forest, he strays into the magical realm of the evil Koschei the Immortal, whose immortality is preserved by keeping his soul in a magic egg hidden in a casket.
When Koschei sends his minions after Ivan, he summons the Firebird.

I know I’m terribly biased.
Nevertheless…
My Gambit is thus,
I think Jon is America’s most important contemporaneous Writer.
Quilled-pen & Inked-well.
A shinning/spinning Diamond.

May more hearken.
This is my prayer.

Shine On!

Anyway, since you asked me… Yes, I like paintings. I myself do not paint, but I have always been fascinated by the paintings, especially the ones that ‘accurately’ depict nature. You’d have to drag me away from a painting if I had spotted an art gallery that caught my eye while I’m drooling staring at it! That’s how much I love them.

And,

It just so happens that I liked most of the hobbies you mentioned, but needless to say that none of them belongs to only one “sign”.
