It’s a shark. It’s called “whale” shark because of it’s size, but it’s definitely a fish. FYI: mammals ,even aquatic mammals, do not have gills. Those four verticle lines just behind the mouth are gill slits.
True, the dormouse never speaks in the song, but in the original Jefferson Airplane version, Grace Slick’s closing line is: “Remember what the dormouse said: feed your head”, which to me is an admonition to learn from the dormouse’s seemingly random muttering of snippets of nursery rhymes. Lewis Carroll’s writings are full of vaguely-hidden meanings.
@IamJayBluEThe title of the Desmond/Brubeck piece refers not to the length of the piece, but rather to the unique Balkan rhythm it uses: an 11/16 rhythm which is often simplified as 5 unequal beats. Example: A=heavy beat, b=light beat, thus: AbAbAbbAbAb, 11 total, is often counted in 5, with the middle Abb held longer than the rest (one two THREE four five). Thus the piece “Take Five” which fits the 11/16 beat perfectly.
I was a Balkan dancer and performer for nearly thirty years in Berkeley California, where Brubeck lived for a time and no doubt heard Balkan music, as there were Balkan dance groups everywhere in the Bay Area during the 1960s and 70s.
Why are the “Priceless” images continually getting smaller? When the purpose of the post IS the image, it makes no sense to print it at such a microscopic size that we have to strain to see it.The other strips are printed at a readable size, why is this one the exception?
Nice touch of nostalgia in Foxtrot, recalling the old Sinclair gasoline brand.
