Oh no

Sometime in the 11th Century, viking mercenaries carved runes in the shoulder of this ancient Greek lion statue. It’s difficult to translate, but they say something like “We won and now we’re carving trash talk on your lion.” So at least some vikings knew what lions were. [5/9]

Oh no! Sounds like a tough time. I hope they recovered well with no lasting issues….

It wasn’t very well attended. I think it was right after spring break in 1999. He got all the students up on stage and had them learn Monk’s “Friday the 13th” by ear. Roswell Rudd did a long spoken word thing in one of the tunes they played.

No it was the quartet with Roswell Rudd. I found out they were coming to the Dakota and contacted their management. A student asked about free playing. Lacy said we don’t play totally free anymore but let’s do it today! I have the recording, some great Monk tunes too.

I was lucky enough to be able to get Steve Lacy and his quartet to come to Macalester to do a performance and workshop for the music students. Hard to believe it was 25 years ago.

The Pretenders, but it was just before the name change from Sam’s to First Ave (1980) so maybe doesn’t count? (Yes I’m old)

Irene Minnehaha here…

Yes, I live in Ward 12. Glad to see you here.
