Cobwebs and Strange

Staring at the ceiling wondering what to write about this week, my eye falls on those pesky cobwebs I keep meaning to knock down. I think what the heck are those things anyway and what exactly is a cob?  A quick tour of the web comes up with everything from magical fairy creations to a slightly more rational theory concerning sticky abandoned spider webs. I also find out that a "cob" is translated from the Middle English "coppe" meaning spider which seems like a stretch to me, but, as my Greek grandmother used to say " there you go." I look for a video and find Cobwebs and Strange  an aptly named little piece by The Who featuring a lot of drums and a small scream from Keith Moon. (Crank this baby up full blast to wake up your comatose teenager.) Speaking of moons, tonight is the last of the Three in a Row Super Moon Set of 2019. Look for this moon rise a little before 7 pm, just an hour after Official Arrival of Spring at 5:58 pm aka the Equinox.

Get on your fairy helmets- it's going to be a witchy kind of evening and a perfect one for "Sweeping Cobwebs off the Moon."

O.K. I'll stop now.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming. There's a lot of music this weekend from Dead covers to...well,  the sky's the limit. Ok, stopping now. For real.
