Tilly first exposure to trombone — Tilly reminds me of the RCA Victor dog, Nipper Tilly’s trombone innoculation.

The Cloud of Unknowing

these band members gave the band name as "The Cloud of Unknowing" — The Cloud of Unknowing counsels a young student to seek God, not through knowledge and intellection (faculty of the human mind), but through intense contemplation, motivated by love, and stripped of all thought. This is brought about by putting all thoughts and desires under a “cloud of forgetting”, and thereby piercing God’s cloud of unknowing with a “dart of longing love” from the heart. This form of contemplation is not directed by the intellect, but involves spiritual union with God through the heart:–Wikipedia

Bass + b&w

Larry Fink Beats show — Exhibition cave in the BankAmerica building, Charlottesville. Magical setting for images by Larry Fink.

The big tent in the little downtown. The tent blocks former mountain view but provides seating for political and musical events. Was this a custom tent or an off the shelf model?
