Magna Carta: Law and Legend, 1215-2015

...

June 13-Oct. 12, 2015 Library, West Hall

The Huntington Library, Art Collections,
and Botanical Gardens
1151 Oxford Rd.
San Marino, CA 91108

This exhibition celebrates the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta by exploring the language and ideology of constitutionalism (both written and unwritten) and the rule of law. While the cornerstone of the exhibition is The Huntington's 13th-century draft of the Magna Carta, the themes move beyond Medieval England to explore the relevance of Magna Carta to later English history, the history of the United States, and the modern world, drawn from various areas of the Huntington’s collections. The exhibition also delves into the legend and popular perceptions of Magna Carta. Over the past eight centuries Magna Carta, as a concept, holds a powerful and empowering place in the imaginations of thinkers, artists, and rebels, demonstrating how people across time have offered unique interpretations of this significant document.

Dave Martone - "Rasputin" performance video: 
Dave Martone "Rasputin"   

Boney M’s lush disco classic “Rasputin” gets the flamenco treatment.

From Dave Martone's upcoming album, "Nacimiento".

"Nacimiento" means birth or beginning. For Dave Martone, that means returning to his musical roots and revisiting his love of the nylon string guitar. The acoustic nylon string guitar has a warm, organic sound which fits the passion of the flamenco style on Dave’s new album.

Eric Gales talks about Pinnick Gales Pridgen

...

Jeb:  “Been So High (The Only Place to go is Down)” may be the best song on the album.

Eric: Dude, that song there ain’t no joke at all!  I’m just saying there is some serious material on this record.  Some of this stuff is hard for me to talk about because there is nothing to say; it just leaves me plain speechless.  All you can say about it is, “Gaaawwwwly” if you can even get that out!  Dude, it is self-explanatory.  That song is just a hard, hard, hard Zeppelin type, bluesy song.  I feel that the point got across very well lyrically and musically.  The solo that is going on during that song, when I listened to it I couldn’t believe that I soloed like that for eight minutes strong.  I am very happy with that one.  I am happy about them all.  When I think of all of the elements that went on and went into this album it makes me very, very happy.
