Roger Glover And The Butterfly Ball – Love is All

15 Apr

“Everybody’s got to live together. All the people got to understand. So love your neighbor like you love your brother. Come on and join the band. Well, all you need is love and understanding, ring the bell and let the people know. We’re so happy and we’re celebrating, come on and let your feelings show.” sang the frog, and how right he was.

“The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper’s Feast” is a hippie concept album and from 1974  based on a children’s book of the same title.

This was the most ecstatic, charismatic frog I ever saw, and I think you will all agree with me, that we need more frogs like that one!

The Beaded game of Death and Rebirth

18 Feb

Indian Animator Ishu Patel was making some highly metaphysical, highly imaginative and exquisitely done videos back in the 1970’s. “The Bead Game”, created by Patel in 1978, is a never ending chainof death and rebirth, of things flowing into and out of one another, falling apart, and creating new life. A beaded version of the game of existence.
