Les McCann, Eddie Harris, "Compared to What"

I found out today that the great Les McCann died Friday, age 88. He and Harris, who put on this now-legendary gig at Montreux as an unplanned gig, had long careers on their own, before and after. On this day in 1969, they walked onstage without rehearsal or ever having played together and did it, working under the additional pressure that this unscheduled performance was being recorded and filmed.

This added a little fillip to the story:

Despite the pressure, or perhaps because of it, as Mr. McCann recalled in the liner notes for the 1996 CD reissue of the concert album, which was released in 1969 as 'Swiss Movement,' “Just before we went onstage, and for the first time in my life, I smoked some hash.”

When he got to the bandstand, he wrote, “I didn’t know where the hell I was. I was totally disoriented. The other guys said, ‘OK, play, man!’ Somehow I got myself together, and after that, everything just took off.”

Even if you know the song, watching them perform it is a treat.

I like the way you think, the way your mind dances with creativity and wisdom. Your thoughts are like a gentle breeze that sweeps me off my feet, leaving me in awe of your brilliance. And oh, the way you make me feel - it's like a symphony playing in my heart.

We revere The Sun as light & heat energy giver at the center- as the symbol for the Self as the eternal omnipotent source of all.

At the centre of all is a divine law in the Veda called Rta, called Ma'at by the Egyptians & Harmonie by the Greeks, maintaining stable order of the world operating vertically throughout the Natural, Spiritual & Socioeconomic layers of creation.

Supreme law emanates from Truth.

There is Truth beyond, that which remains ever the same.

And there are the laws of truth, the forces of Nature or Shakti's, that regulate this creation to be orderly & seasonal in order to provide for the needs of all beings in the creation.

Sekhmet

Sekhmet whose name means: "She who is powerful" or

"the One who loves Ma'at" was the goddess of the hot desert sun, plague, chaos, war, and healing. She was created from the fire of the sun god Ra's eye when he looked upon Earth. Ra created her as a weapon to destroy humans for their disobedience to him and for not living in accordance with the principles of Ma'at.

Sekhmet was depicted with the body of a woman with a lion head wearing a sun disk.

Copernicus describing the Sun mythologically, drawing from Greco-Roman examples:

In the middle of all sits the Sun on his throne. In this loveliest of temples, could we place the luminary in any more appropriate place so that he may light the whole simultaneously. Rightly is he called the Lamp, the Mind, the Ruler of the Universe: Hermes Trismegistus entitles him the God Visible. Sophocles' Electra names him the All-seeing. Thus does the Sun sit as upon a royal dais ruling his children the planets which circle about him.

All of it.👍

Okay hear me out. This. But the entirety of Romeo and Juliet. The capulets and Montagues distinguished by color and Romeo and Juliet distinguished by a poorly secured fake mustache and cheap wig respectively. The other characters of great importance will be allowed one prop/item to distinguish them.
