Music

With wishbone

folk textures! crafted from a reverence for acoustic music and a deep fascination with its persistence and importance in our largely electrically-driven modern society. acknowledgement of the impact of instrumentation on the mindset of performance. respect for ever-warping tradition, love of togetherness and wonder! joy in the natural world. soul of a song. strings and wood. stay a while.

SKUNK CABBAGE

it's spring baby you know what that means. plant of the week is back.


this week: skunk cabbage! (symplocarpus foetidus)

You can spot skunk cabbage right now as the flowers emerge from the ground after their winter dormancy. The flowers appear before the leaves and have a very distinctive mottled red and yellow-greenish color, consisting of a hood with the flowers protected inside. The outer protective hood is called a spathe, the internal part is called a spadix. while not botanically considered a composite flower (composite flower: a "flower" which appears to be one single flower is actually a complex grouping of many tiny, independent flowers.... such as a sunflower!), the spadix is one singular fleshy structure covered in many tiny independent flowers. Here's a link to a picture and some more information!

TAndy, Tubular Bells is one of my all time favorite albums
TAndy 10:35:40 AM
Dude the record was soooo poppy and worn out. I love getting to own a well loved record 🥰
Rob from Maryland 🦀 10:36:08 AM
Mine might sound like that too, I haven't played it in such a long time
TAndy 10:38:21 AM
Pretty sure I got Focus II - Eruption in a past visit too, one of my favorite prog records.

TAndy 11:04:12 AM
