TSCSM Grand plan ends after 7" single

Soulclan

The supergroup known as The Soul Clan was to be the start of an autonomous African-American business empire. The reality was that one of the intended founders died in a plane crash, one allegedly became uncomfortable with the grandiose vision of his proposed colleagues, and two new members were drafted into the group before a 7" double-sided 45rpm 'single' was issued from the only two tracks that the group ever recorded; even that was only achieved without them all being in a recording studio at the same time. If you see an LP album, only two of the tracks are 'genuine', the compliation was made with individual contributions from group members.

Even some of the greatest ideas never make it out alive.

You may read a group bio by Mark Deming at the AllMusic.com bio website and visit a fan site by blogger 'Red Kelly' for more information. Wikipedia has an entry for The Soul Clan.

Shivwits craft show

CULTURAL LEARNINGS FOR MAKE BENFIT • Today, the second Monday of October is either Indigenous Peoples Day or Columbus Day, or both in some places. Like many things in these decentralized United States the choice to go with one, or the other, or both, varies by state and even by city. The State of Utah remains with Columbus Day. Salt Lake City (the Utah state capital in the north of the state) went with duality. St George (the largest city in the south of the state) remains with Columbus Day and the Stars and Stripes were ubiquitous. Yesterday, we passed on the Art in Kayenta  show and chose to visit the  Shivwits  fourth annual native American arts and crafts show, which is held on the Shivwits tribal lands beyond the well-heeled satellite towns to the northwest of St George. I chatted with two sisters who were continuing their mothers work with Navajo jewelry. One sister had stayed with traditional designs and the other sister had taken a more contempora...

The roll cloud returns • Today, as if to underscore the approaching change of season, a roll cloud returned to sit atop the Pine Valley Mountains. At first light the clouds started massing in the west and by mid-morning there was a fully-formed roll cloud, which is something more often seen in the cold months of the year. It was a busy day around the countryside. There seemed to be more construction vehicles than usual moving around and the flight path out of the airport was busy with both planes and helicopters. Three aircraft passed overhead as I paused at Amen Corner by the horse hotel. Up at Copper Rock there are now four buildings under construction. The first structure to be started is now well advanced and a worker was loading materials in preparation for the roof cladding. I rode the final leg of my route at a slow pace as I enjoyed the morning sunshine. I saw several dogs and cats that are now regular sightings, including the fierce metal-sculpture hound that guards the ...

Visit to Confluence Park

Although not formally part of the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve —whose primary goal is recovery the threatened desert tortoise— Confluence Park is part of the Washington County HCP (Habitat Conservation Plan). A Google map , and the left and center  information panels for visitors at the park entrance should allow you to get your bearings. There is an additional online human history of the park. The area was tranquil on the day of our Sunday out in warm afternoon sunshine. Lots of old growth trees—many of them marked with blue paint daubs, which probably means they are to receive attention soon—with overwintering  Rabbitbrush , grasses, and canes glowing against the light. Devotees of the Cactaceae (aka Opuntiaceae, aka Leuchtenbergiaceae) family of plants should stay alert.   --------------------oOo-------------------- The blog author almost never checks emails or comments.
