As July Turned Towards August

Today happens to be 8/9/10 -- in the early morning it was 05:06:07 08/09/10, but I was asleep then.

Last week, Johnny Melville traveled from Berlin to Hamlet's own castle at Elsinore, Denmark in order to lead an orchestra/chorus of musical cars. Rather than tour drive-in movie theaters, he'll post a video on YouTube -- stay "tuned!"

Stuart Curtis made some music in Western Oregon:

Paul Blackwell sang along and played with Andre Floyd on the docks of Lakeside, Montana in late July -- but I wasn't there to shoot pictures.

Dancer Katie Duck was and is getting ready for performances in August -- especially Sunday August 22 Duck Projects - Criminal Mind single studio Eerste Nassaustraat 7 Amsterdam (same building - up stairs as the Studio Seven) See a full list of her summer workshops/performances HERE.

The Funk Mob later toured France all the way to the Riviera.
In Long Beach, California, a there was a free day-and-night Funk Fest last weekend, featuring Dawn Silva, Jeanette Washington, and the Brides of Funkenstein, along with other members of the extended P-Funk Family playing in their band -- like DeWayne McKnight, Jeff Bunn, Barry Chenault, and Greg Thomas. DJ/Scholar Ricky Vincent was there, along with legendary Jimmy Castor, Patryce Banks, sTOZO tHE cLOWN, Lonnie Marshall & Weapon Of Choice, The Stone City Band, plus various & sundry P-Funk fans from the Internet Community, including Darryl (Funk Store) Moon, and DJ Soul Sister from New Orleans, who introduced Webmaster Michael to the cyber-mothership.

Footsbarn continued to perform at Polzeath in their old home grounds of Cornwall, England. The Mir Caravan 2010 is still in Namur, Belgium, but I'm worried about their next stop -- Moscow and Russia are having some terrible problems with wildfires and deadly smokey air.
