Song Review: Mighty Poplar - “Chico River” (Live, 2023)
Mighty Poplar summoned the power of quietude to deliver a devastating performance of “Chico River” at the 2023 Green Mountain Bluegrass & Roots festival.
Now out on professional video, the bluegrass supergroup’s rendering of Mapache’s number is astonishing in its finesse as mandolinist Andrew Marlin, guitarist Chris Eldridge and bassist Greg Garrison climb to the top of their ranges on the chorus:
Abigail/Abigail
The mic into which they sing also serves as the band’s amp, to which fiddler Alex Hargreaves, then Marlin, then banjoist Noam Pikelny move closer so their respective, pre-chorus solos can be dispersed to the audience.
It ends with Marlin and Eldridge weaving a soft, delicate tapestry that flirts with silence. It leaves the audience hushed and the band smiling in quiet, hard-earned, self-satisfaction.
Grade card: Mighty Poplar - “Chico River” (Live, 2023) - A+

Artists Assembled! An amazing anniversary montage of classic British comic artists art
Artist Mike Perkins has kindly shared a smashing image featuring art by Ron Smith, Mike Western, Chris Weston and others
Back in 1994, comic artist Mike Perkins was just starting out on his illustrative career and was represented through Patrick Kelleher of Temple Rogers Artists’ Agency, aka Temple Art Agency. At the time, Pat was celebrating 40 years in the business and, as a surprise, fellow artist Jon Haward rounded up some of his artists to contribute to this illustration for Pat.

Brian Connolly, lead singer with glam rock band The Sweet was born on October 5th 1945 in Govanhill.
Usually my disclaimers about dates and birthplace are for more historical posts but sometimes they throw ones like this at me, so the dates are either 45 or 49, some sources say he was born in Govanhill others tell me 20 odd miles away in Hamilton.
His mother was a teenage waitress, Frances Connolly, who left him in a Glasgow hospital as an infant whilst he was possibly suffering from meningitis. The identity of his father was never made public he was in care until he was two, when he was fostered by Jim and Helen McManus of Blantyre, South Lanarkshire who already had three born-to children. Brian was given the name McManus which he used until he was 18, when he discovered that he was adopted and changed his surname to his mother´s, Connolly.
In a radio interview, Connolly reported that singing was a large part of growing up since there was no television, and that he was regularly called upon to sing for family and friends. Connolly has credited the Everly Brothers as being his earliest musical influence.
At the age of twelve the family moved to Harefield, Greater London, where he attended the local Secondary Modern school. In his mid-teens he joined the Merchant Navy.
On his discharge from the Merchant Navy in 1963 he returned to Harefield and played in a number of local bands, including Generation X, from mid-1965 until about October 1966. The group recorded four tracks but these were not commercially released. The lineup featured Connolly on vocals, Chris Eldridge and Lee Mordecai on guitars, Mark Conway (bass) and drummer Martin Lass. Connolly eventually replaced singer Ian Gillan (later of Deep Purple fame) in a band called Wainwright’s Gentlemen, which included drummer Mick Tucker. Tucker and Connolly left Wainwright’s Gentlemen in late 1967 and recruited guitarist Frank Torpey, and bassist Steve Priest, naming their new band The Sweetshop.
On the eve of releasing their debut single, Slow Motion, in July 1968, the band shortened their name to The Sweet. They recorded a further three unsuccessful singles; Andy Scott joined the line-up in late 1970, just before the release of their first hit single “Funny, Funny”
Their second single “Co Co” reached number 2 on the charts and they released the albums Gimmee Dat Ding, Sweet Fanny Adams and Desolation Boulevard followed.
The Sweet had 15 top 40 hits between 1971 and 1978, including the aptly named number one Blockbuster! As well as that The Sweet reached number one with various songs all over Europe, two number ones in Australia and a handful of hits in the U.S.
Connolly announced that he had left the group in 1979. He pursued a solo career to get into country music, released the album “Let’s Go”, which was only semi successful.
During January 1997 Connolly had another heart attack and he was hospitalised in Slough, he discharged himself after a week but was readmitted before the fortnight was up. This time there was little more that could be done. Connolly died late on the evening on 9 February 1997, from renal failure, liver failure and repeated heart attacks, attributed to his previous chronic alcoholism. Connolly was 51 years old.
A wee add on is  that numerous sources have asserted that he was a half-brother of the late Taggart actor Mark McManus I must admit I have said this in previous posts, but I did further research and this is not the case. The confusion lies in the fact that his foster brother was named Mark, but there was also a cousin named Mark McManus - who grew up to become the actor who played Taggart in the Glasgow television police detective series.

Song Review: Mighty Poplar - “Grey Eagle” (Live)
“Content to only steal the show,” as his bandmates put it, fiddler Shad Cobb proves himself much more than a standin for Alex Hargreaves on Mighty Poplar’s live rendering of “Grey Eagle.”
Captured on professional video during the bluegrass supergroup’s appearance at the 2023 FreshGrass festival in Massachusetts, the clip may feature Cobb’s sawin’ prominently. But Noam Pikelny’s banjo pickin’, Avdrew Marlin’s mandolin fannin’ and Chris Eldridge’s guitar stylin’ are not inessential ingredients, as evidenced by the explosion of applause that follows each musician’s turn in the spotlight.
Grade card: Mighty Poplar - “Grey Eagle” (Live) - A+

I keep forgetting that Sailor Eldritch exists. And Chris often goes by his surname Eldridge when it comes to business.
It's gotta be so confusing having two sailors with similar-sounding names both running ferries out of Canalave. Locals probably know the difference because they're wildly different people, but tourists and newcomers get the two mixed up. Would work out well though, since the two would basically be promoting one another.

The Weekend Update: Carolina Prep and More at Pine Top, Three Lakes, Full Gallop Farm
Tumblr media
Another weekend of eventing is in the books, with plenty of horse and rider pairs out and about in the southern states. We’re inching closer to warmer weather for the spring season, as well as some upcoming competitions, like the Carolina International CCI4* in just a few weeks!
We caught up with some of the riders aiming for Carolina, and took a look back on this weekend and celebrate our Weekend Winners! Congrats to all on successful outings, with an extra shout out to the winner of our Unofficial Low Score Award, Priscilla Pignatelli and Dittos Gold En Fury, who scored 20.7 in the Starter Rider division at Three Lakes!
Full Gallop Farm Mid February H.T. (Aiken, SC) [Website][Scoring]
Preliminary/Training: Alexandra Knowles and Fernhill Mac an Bata (29.8) Training: Tracey Bienemann and Silver Bop (29.6) Training/Novice: Margaret Schneck and Islandwood Border Patrol (31.7) Novice: Cole William Horn and WillOMoor Pathfinder (24.7) Beginner Novice A: Christine Hryzak and Sheeran (27.7) Beginner Novice B: Fylicia Barr and Master Of Illusion (23.8) Starter: Sophia Perry and Corona With Lime (29.7) Pre-Starter: Katherine Thornton and Carlingford Finegan (28.0)
Pine Top Advanced (Thomson, GA) [Website][Scoring]
“I’m very pleased with how my horses went at Pine Top this weekend,” says Advanced B winner Ariel Grald, who reflected, “I’m based in Ocala for the winters, and although we have several great venues to choose from, I always make the trip to the Pine Top Advanced HT with my upper level horses… The cross country courses are fantastic and are a good evaluation of where the horses are at at the beginning of the season.”
We’ll see Ariel at Carolina in just a few weeks, with Anne Eldridge’s Leamore Master Plan (Master Imp xx – Ardragh Bash, by Cavalier Royale) in the 4*S, Annie Eldridge’s Diara in the 3*S (Diacontinus – Lady Revens, by Colon xx), and Annie Eldridge’s Adagio’s Nobility (Adagio De Talma – Noble Lady I, by Heraldik xx) in the 2*S.
Andrew McConnon won the Advanced A with Jeanne Shigo’s Ferrie’s Cello (Chello III – Karelza, by Wolfgang). “I’m thankful to have my horses starting off the season looking and feeling well! I had different goals for each horse and I’m pleased with all four of them. We’re really fortunate to have Pine Top Farm on our spring calendar, I’ve been going to Pine Top for nearly 20 years. I’ve had many firsts at Pine Top, including my first Advanced many years ago. It’s always been a special event to me!”
Coming out of the winter, these early spring events have been helpful in bringing Andrew’s horses back from their breaks and in utilizing their training. “I’ve been fortunate to learn from William Fox-Pitt in England the importance of a long winter break and several weeks of long hacking before starting back into work. Most recently with the help of the USEF I’ve had the opportunity to train with Leslie Law, well as my long time coaches at home who have helped me step up my game. While I’m not on the development list this year, the opportunities over the last several years from Nations Cup teams, European tour, and access to training in that program has made a huge impact to myself and my program.”
With a recent move out onto his own, Chris Talley sought out Pine Top as an important stop in his spring for his horses and program: “This year after stepping out on my own and starting my own business I came up from Ocala, Florida and came to the second Pine Top specifically because they have the Advanced division which I wanted to target with the Allison Pratt’s FE Marco Polo (Arko Junior Pms – Elfe II, by Exorbitant XX) and my own Loughtown Cici (Cc Captain Cruise – Castlelawn Diamond Clover, by White Clover) that recently stepped up to [the level].”
“The cross country at Pine Top is why I chose to come here every year. It’s big and bold and really requires positive riding. The courses offer fair questions for this point in the season and also offers a bit of terrain which in Florida you don’t get much of.”
“It’s been a very good start to the season and all the horses finished Pine Top full of confidence so I’m excited for some big spring plans… Since establishing my own business I’ve been really happy with how the horses are going. I have an amazing group of horses and wonderful owners who have been incredibly supportive. This year I really wanted to find the fun in it again. I wanted to enjoy my personal life as much as I enjoy the horses and I’ve found the perfect work/life balance which I think the horses and their performance and reaping the rewards of,” Chris commented.
Having just moved her business back to the states from her time in England, Kimmy Cecere enjoyed her first time at Pine Top. “What a fantastic event to start the season! Both the cross country and show jumping courses were strong and rewarding.”
“Jacqueline Mars’ Landmark’s Monaco (Formula One – Glamour) had a fun and easy canter around the Intermediate. [Her own] OS Hermintage (Indoctro – Elvira), who has just stepped up to the level, gained confidence throughout all three phases. The rolling hills and variety of questions set both horses up to continue on to Carolina in a few weeks,” Kimmy reflected.
Kimmy’s horses seem to be making the transition to their new base in Southern Pines well. “The horses traveled super well and they love our new base in Southern Pines,” Kimmy commented. “I have developed some great new relationships, and I’m looking forward to expanding my business!”

Master Post :]
Master Post for this AU so you don't have to go re-read everything on my main profile
Tumblr media
Smg4 and 3 are suddenly put into a 4 year long deep sleep. They're unable to protect their realm from major threats, seeing as they're the Guardians of this world. A virus is implemented into the world and quickly starts to spread like wildfire. It infects almost everyone accept a few.
Those who survived retreated to a secluded, underground bunker equipped with many rooms and farms. The infected rummage the world above.
They all act like a hive mind accept a few. The few that don't are highly dangerous and have higher chances to attack their own members, so they've been isolated, some even team up with other strong infected.
Infected are extremely hostile to those unaffected. They're changed both physically and mentally, meaning whatever was there is now gone. Not permanently however. Strong infected tend to be in small groups of 2-5 and will destroy whoever steps into their territory.
4 and 3 finally reawaken after 4 years and wonder around their now decimated world, trying to figure out what happened. They get jumped by those who used to be their friends but get saved and brought back to the bunker.

punch brothers is great because chris thile was like “i want to make chamber music about my divorce” and the music execs were like “no you’re gonna make recruitment propaganda for bluegrass music” and gabe witcher was like “chris thile has tricked me, trained fiddler gabe witcher, into being here, so i’m going to act like i’m a closeted homosexual in unrequited love with him” and chris eldridge was like “i’m in a mindfulness commercial!”
