Happy Feast Day

Saint Edward the Confessor

1003-1066

Feast Day: October 13

Patronage: difficult marriages, separated spouses, English royal family. Kings.

Saint Edward the Confessor was England’s first Anglo-Saxon and only King to be canonized. This beloved King regained his throne at 40 in which during his reign there was almost an unbroken peace. He repulsed invasions, helped restore the King of Scotland’s throne, was generous to the poor, had a deep piety, purity, and love for God. His touch had the power to heal. St. Peter’s Church at Westminster Abby was built during his reign. He’s represented holding a ring he once offered to St. John disguised as a beggar. In 1163, St. Thomas Becket interred his incorrupt body to Westminster Abbey.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the multi-talented actor, activist, and singer Harry Belafonte. In his 90s be became known more for social activism, but in his lifelong career, he worked up an award-winning and unparalleled resume of hit films and recordings. When I perform in assisted living homes, I often play Belafonte’s evergreen “Banana Boat Song,” to the delight of the audiences. However, I have a stronger connection to one of his “deep cuts”—the song "Love Love Alone.” It tells the tale of King Edward and Ms. Wallis Simpson, better known as The Duke & Duchess of Windsor. While the true circumstances and controversies of their lives have been a source of criticism and debate, the point remains: In 1936 The King abdicated his power to be with the woman he loved. It was love over throne, and Harry gave the story a vivid make-over.

The song first came to my attention via my friend Dan Rielly. The 1957 HB version was quite calypso-fied (when calypso was, for a time, bigger than rock'n'roll). Dan and I took it into a synth-pop zone, leading to a full production for my FIRE album. During the FIRE sessions, the song caught the attention of Davy Jones (Monkees) for the song’s airing of “controversial British history.” Davy cameo’d a vocal on my track and, months later, he pitched the song to the cable television series he was hosting at the time, MEET THE ROYALS. He also played it live a few times. Meanwhile, HB to HB—thank you for shaing your skills and for the deep cuts on your records.

A long day. (493 words)

Sydney stood in the aisle, sighing deeply as she tried to decide between JaffaCakes or some other sweet treat to improve her mood after listening to a lecture on how KingEdward wasn’t as useless of a king as the rest of them are. To her they were all just as bad, apart from maybe Henry VIII – she hated him. Jazz played quietly through the speakers that were scattered around the walls, a welcome change to the store manager’s favourite song – Dune buggy by The Presidents of the United States of America. She moved through the aisles, idly grabbing items and shoving them in her trolly, finding herself in the Halloween fanfare that shops always do months in advance. Fake crows and various skeleton themed decorations were flung all over the shelves, clearly been looked at and disregarded by children as they got more excited for the spooky season.

Her phone buzzed in her pocket, a text, the name of her partner showed up on screen. Robin had asked her when she was getting home; she had no idea really, she didn’t feel like going home in all honesty. Going home just meant that she had to have conversations, something she was less than in the mood for, nevertheless she replied with a simple thirty minutes. Thirty minutes would be more than enough time to rouse some energy from within her before sitting down for dinner. Everything would be just fine. Everything would be great. Everything would have been great if she didn’t turn the corner to find her friend Pluto waiting to talk to her. They hadn’t spoken in a while and Sydney did feel some guilt for it, she was never the best communicator.

She found herself putting on a smile and asking them how their day was, getting a cheerful response. How exhausting. The conversation went on for a while, moving from topic to topic and eventually landing on the mutual lecturer they had last year – Mr Kipling.

“How is he these days?” Pluto would ask, curious.

“I saw him last week,he’sokay.” Syndey would reply, hoping for that to end the conversation so she could go home and melt into a puddle of exhaustion.

However, it didn’t end there, she found herself convinced into giving the enthusiastic person a lift home, both of them getting into her super rougecar, one that Robin thought did not have the best colour but Sydney loved it for its boldness. The drive was mostly uneventful except for the occasional statement from Pluto:

“Watch out for that cyclist.”

“There’s someone waiting to cross, you should let them!”

“Ah, I heard there’s road work ahead on this road, we should take another route.”

Truly, too much for Sydney today. Alas, they made it to Pluto’s home, dropping them off, and soon Sydney found herself at home and curled up under a blanket whilst dinner cooked. She hoped her evening could be peaceful.

A/n - A word prompt piece, using observations to create a piece of fiction, definitely not one of my favourites! Any feedback would be awesome!

A line of overheard conversation - "i saw him last week, he's okay" 2 species of bird - robin, crow  2 brand names for food - Jaffa cakes, Mr kipling The words from a sign - road work ahead The name of one planet or star - pluto

The name of a lipstick - super rouge The title of a book - dune  The name of a hero - sydney One type of apple - jazz  One type of potato - king edward

So this was a huge find for me today. So if you were in my bedroom when I was a kid, this is the ACTUAL poster that hung on my wall! I thought I still had it! So I went to my gear locker and there it was! Along with my Randy Rhoades one and a few others. It’s not mint. But it’s brings back so many killer memories. At one point I built a wooden copy of the flip top that’s in this pic. Long live the king #kingedward #evh #eddievanhalen #rip https://www.instagram.com/p/CPvtyn2sCNE/?utm_medium=tumblr

Reposted from @officialpaulburrell Lincoln Cathedral, once the tallest building in the world, is quite spectacular. In 1290, Queen Eleanor of Castile, the wife of King Edward I, died close by. Her heart was buried here and her body was taken in a funeral procession to Westminster Abbey in London. This is an incredible building and well worth a visit. Look out for the carving of the Lincoln Imp! #visitengland #visitengland🇬🇧 #burrellsbritain #englishheritage #visitbritain #lincoln #lincolnshire #lincolncathedral #cathedral #churchofengland #anglican #anglicanchurch #christian #queenofengland #royalfamily #edward #kingedward #gothic #gothicstyle #norman #williamtheconqueror #visitlincoln #visitlincolnshire #lincolnimp #eastmidlands #magnacarta https://www.instagram.com/p/CSCI5DeLDSa/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’m proud of being both African and European. February is the month to honor my African heritage. You don’t have to go back very far in time to when the idea of a Black President in the Whitehouse was simply unbelievable. But President Barack Obama served two terms as the first African American President, and has changed the course of American history, truly a testament to black history! Obama is but one of many inspiring black men and women who have also left their mark in the history books, and have been positive forces for African American rights, so it's only fitting that we Obama is featured in our calendar. Every page of this calendar features a high-quality image of an important historical black figure and details of how they left their mark. You get a real feel for who these people were and the struggles they fought as well as the impact they made on their generations. Let 2020 be the year you focus on how wonderful it is to be part of the rich and important African American culture that is helping shape our country for the next generation. #Itsablackthang #blackhistorymonth #africa #motherland #black #blackexcellence #blackdontcrack #blackpower #nigeria #nigerian #senegalesetwists #ghana #sierraleone #irish #scottish #britishafrican #american #blackmamba #kingedward #edwardlongshanks #pharoah (at Alvin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8B31z9pKqY/?igshid=bufvkr1dwz8h

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HARRY BELAFONTE--this is a cover of one of HB's deep cuts... https://www.reverbnation.com/johnnyjblair/song/3679830-love-alone-wdavy-jones-monkees

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the multi-talented actor and singer Harry Belafonte, still rockin’ it at age 96! As of late his main gig has been social activism, but in his lifetime he’s worked up an unparallelled, award-winning resume of successful films and recordings. When I perform in assisted living homes, I often play Belafonte’s evergreen “Banana Boat Song,” to the delight of the audiences. However, I have a stronger connection to one of his “deep cuts”—the song "Love Love Alone.” It tells the tale of King Edward and Ms. Wallis Simpson, better known as The Duke & Duchess of Windsor. While the true circumstances and controversies of their lives have been a source of criticism and debate, the point remains: In 1936 The King abdicated his power to be with the woman he loved. It was love over throne, and Harry gave the story a vivid make-over.

Qυҽҽɳ Mαɾყ I • After the death of King Edward VI his eldest sister Mary was next in line for the throne. No one in protestant England wanted the catholic Mary as queen. The young king had taken steps before his death to ensure she would never rule but things didn't go as planned. Learn more about Queen Mary's ascension to the throne in this week's newsletter.
