"This was really the first time that blues music, especially Chicago/urban blues, was showcased in this way. Sadly, the festivals were not recorded professionally. So Mr. Livingston's photos are the best record of the festivals." ---Michael Jewett, longtime weekday afternoon host of 89.1 Jazz and host of "Blues & Some Uthuh Stuff"
"The photos are works of art. It is great to see photos of musicians such as Buddy Guy and James Cotton looking so young and vibrant. And it is great to see photos of blues legends such as John Lee Hooker, Roosevelt Sykes, Howlin' Wolf, and Son House,...

Author Michael Erlewine writes: "Poetry for me has been a way to record my inner changes and spiritual experiences. I don't write poetry that often, but when I do it is always in response to some inner realization or other, something I am going through that finally becomes clear to me. And I don't just try to "write a poem." I use poetry as a way of clarifying my experiences, as a way to lock my emerging realization into a form that can serve to bring to mind again and again the actual experience I am trying to understand. If I can capture the experience in a poem, I know that I have realized...

The heart of modern astrology is all about aspect between the Sun, Moon, and planets, a technique passed down from the ancient Greeks. All astrologers use aspects. What is not so well understood is the importance of looking at both right and left-handed aspects, what are called full-phase or mirror aspects. A right-handed or separating Square aspect is not the same as a left-handed or applying Square aspect, just as we discriminate between a First Quarter and Fourth Quarter Moon and should be interpreted differently. Championed by astrologers like Dane Rudhyar and L. Edward Johndro, mirror...
