Beatle Bill has played Mrs. Vandebilt live for the first time ever at a free show in Kiev.
To me it was always one of the greatest forgotten Bill solo songs, and now it turns out it is his most popular solosong in Russia where they know it as "hop hey hop".
Enjoy:

Loved "Day in the Life" and, now I remember this tune, "Calico Skies"--really enjoyed that one. Sweet song, sweet tune, sweet words. It is clear from this footage that Sir Paul has a very special connection to the hearts of the Russian people. (Kiev is capitol of the Ukraine, is that right?) This is not a thing that I "got" before, but now I really "get it", and I think that this is an important fact. Macca IS the West to many of those people; he is Musical Ambassador to a Very Great People; and this is a position well worth Sheperding. "Jet" is pretty hot as well. |

In "A Day In The Life", original recording, Mal counts to 24 and then the alarm clock goes off. (more clear in bootlegs) In the background here in the "English garden", two butterflies appear and fly off exactly when the alarm goes off. (two are flying?)  www.insects.org/ced4/symbol_list2.html |

(two are flying?) www.insects.org/ced4/symbol_list2.htmlOh--I just got it. Mal counts to 24. One count for every Measure of music in that "build-up" orchestral section. There were 24 bars of music TILL "Paul" (Bill?) began to sing, i.e., AFTER 24, William enters....... There are 24 hours in any Day in a Life. There were 24 Years in Paul's life to date. When the alarm clock rings, it is time to "Wake up, get out of bed, drag a comb across your ahead." So 24 becomes a buzz word, or number, for JPM. Are there hidden 24's in lyrics or covers? Any songs in 2/4 time? Two are flying, two are not? 2 outta 4 ain't bad? And JPM was BORN in '42, the reverse. 1 2 3 4 It was 20 years ago to day........ 20 + 4 = 24 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 = 24 061842 birthday JPM 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2= 64. When I'm 64. stuck at a dead end |

(more clear in bootlegs) In the background here in the "English garden", two butterflies appear and fly off exactly when the alarm goes off. (two are flying?) www.insects.org/ced4/symbol_list2.htmlKnowledge The sorcerers of the Yaqui Indians of Mexico refer to the moth as a symbol of knowledge. In the book Tales of Power by Carlos Castaneda, the moth is such a central figure it is included as the major character on the cover of the book. It is revealed by Don Juan, a Yaqui sorcerer, "knowledge is a moth." He expresses metaphorically that "the moths are the heralds, or better yet, the guardians of eternity," for some reason, or for no reason at all, they are the depositories of the gold dust of eternity. He continues, "the moths carry a dust on their wings, a dark gold dust. That dust is the dust of knowledge." "Knowledge comes floating like specks of gold dust, the same dust that covers the wings of moths." "The moths have been the intimate friends and helpers of sorcerers from time immemorial." Don Juan adds, "Moths are the givers of knowledge and the friends and helpers of sorcerers." The association of the moth with knowledge coincides with the Blackfoot Indian belief that the butterfly "is a little fellow flying about that is going to bring news to someone tonight." In addition, the Yaqui associates some danger with the moth and its knowledge. The Navaho Indian also feels that "moths and butterflies, especially moths, are very dangerous." The Yaqui feels the powder on a moth's wings is knowledge. The Navaho associates the powder on lepidopteron wings with insanity, the drive to commit incest and the power of an aphrodisiac and the power to run fast. The old adage "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" is quite applicable here. Guardian of Tobacco In Navaho mythology, the caterpillar of a sphinx moth has a position as a security guard, possibly because it possesses a formidable looking, though harmless, horn on its hind end. "Mythologically, hornworm is the guardian of tobacco, and it is a curious coincidence that one of the common species is the well-known tobacco worm of our culture." Bridge Another caterpillar, a measuring worm, takes part in Navaho mythology. "In the legend of Monsterway measuring worm bridges the spreading canyon (or in some versions, water) so that the Hero Twins may cross over." |

I also noticed that Stu Copeland, the Police's drummist, is concerned therein. I was going to to a post about another person who I think is involved in all this, and who may be present here, and Copeland came up then. I'm holding off on the post. Stu Copelands dad is Miles Copleland III, and his father was Miles Axe Copeland, Jr. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Copeland,_Jr. |

I'll nab the album soon. |

Enjoy: Understandably--this has a great sing-a-long feel good folksy feel; the groove and the harmony feel very Slavic to me anyway-----the unrestrained enthusiasm in it; this song would also work well with one guy belting it out and over gypsy guitar! |
