In the Court of the Crimson King Barry Godber (1945–1970), a computer programmer friend of Sinfield's, painted the design for the album cover. He used his own face, viewed through a mirror, as the model. Godber died in February 1970 from a heart attack, shortly after the album's release. He was 24 years old. It was his only painting; the original painting is now owned by Robert Fripp. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Court_of_the_Crimson_King

Brain Salad Surgery Since cover art for the impending album was required, Manticore manager Peter Zumsteg introduced Emerson to a popular artist, Hans Ruedi Giger, who was living in Zurich. In April 1973, as a part of their European tour, the group played a two-day concert there. After the concert, Emerson with Zumsteg visited the artist at his home. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_Salad_Surgery

Notable Corsair Pilots: Gregory "Pappy" Boyington: A legendary Marine aviator who flew Corsairs in the South Pacific, credited with 22 air victories in the F4U, according to Wikipedia. He earned the nickname "Pappy" due to his age compared to his younger squadron mates. Kenneth Walsh: The first Corsair pilot to earn the Medal of Honor, becoming the first Corsair ace. Robert Hanson: Another highly decorated Corsair pilot who achieved over 20 aerial victories. Archie Donahue: A decorated pilot in VMF-124 who also achieved high numbers of kills.

These two knives are being advertised in the June 2025 issues of SHOOTING Illustrated and America's 1st Freedom magazine that arrived recently. Anyone know if they are worth looking into?

And they appear in films...

Oh, Nothing. Nevermind.

The iconic Album Cover Art. It drew you to the album almost before you realized you wanted to buy it. While your record plays you indulge yourself in the album cover artwork as well as the expansive inside artwork. You may already like the artist or band; however, backed by eye appealing artwork you find yourself lost in the music.

And her Service will be honored this Memorial Day.

The recent Post by @Subdeacon Joe got me thinking about my favorite WWII warbird: https://midwaycurrents.org/winter-2023/the-weird-and-wonderful-world-of-vought-aircraft/

As we approach Memorial Day with this coming weekend, the issue of how to address the occasion has been approached on another Board. The obvious negative greeting is "Happy Memorial Day", or "Have a Happy Memorial Day weekend", as these come across as a blatant disrespect for what the Day actually represents. IYHO, which expression do you use, or would find appropriate?

I was watching a show last night and had no questions about it at all.

Tell that to Indiana Jones!

My fault - rushed the posting. Please accept my apologies. @Rye Miles #13621, @Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770, @Alpo, @John Kloehr, @Jackson Haller, and @Creeker, SASS #43022. Let's make the year 1881.

Using the movie premise: You are transported back to 1881 with your current SASS firearms. Would you be comfortable with them and if not what change(s) would you make?

Off the coast of São Paulo, Brazil, lies Ilha da Queimada Grande - known as Snake Island. This deadly paradise holds a terrifying secret: it's home to thousands of golden lancehead vipers, one of the most venomous snakes on Earth. Their venom is so potent it can melt human flesh, and there are up to five snakes per square meter. The Brazilian government has banned all public access, allowing only select scientists with special permits. The last lighthouse keeper and his family died tragically when snakes slithered through their windows... Now, the island stands as a forbidden zone, where evolution created perfect killers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilha_da_Queimada_Grande Golden Lancehead Pit Viper

Classical music has always been in the minds of great bands.

Revisiting historical moments such as these is always enlightenlightening. IMHO our military perseverance is what makes us a great nation. "OPERATION BOLO"

Seems appropriate here as well...
