Saw them multuple times in the 70s in Chicago at the Amphitheater. Fantastic, incl. Soldier's Field Works show. Got behind stage for one show and watched Kieth Emerson from like 10 feet away. Beyond words. Greg Lake's voice was ethereal and beautuful. C Palmer...wow.

Nicholas Crane's account of the French-Spanish geodesic mission to the equator. A truly epic 10 year survey in 1735 to 1745.

Jimi Hendrix considered joining ELP in their earliest incarnation, and if this had happened, the band would've been known as HELP.😵‍💫😳😎

Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea
Everybody is a part of everything anyway
You can have everything if you let yourself be....

Had the great fortune of seeing Donovan.... Wear Your Love Like Heaven tour. #WayBackMachine

The unlikely topic @singingconductor.bsky.social has been singing about lately in a new Red Over Red song.

Pierre Bouguer, Charles La Condamine and there 10 companions, Truly "Masters of Geodesy."

Cover from a 1749 document in French by Pierre Bouguer and Charles Marie de La Condamine on determining the figure of the earth following the ten year French-Spanish mission to the equator.
