![]() ![]() ![]() Pat Day was the man of the hour in the mid-1980s. Cannonade topped a field of 23 for the win. After that history-making race, the Derby followed with another landmark event when a record 163,628 viewers - more than for any other thoroughbred race - watched the 100th running of the Derby. He went on to become the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years. Secretariat finished the race in 1:59.40. In 1973, Secretariat won the Derby and broke two minutes for the first time in Derby history. The second-place finisher, Forward Pass, was declared the winner.Īfter several takeover bids, from private groups and the city of Louisville, the board of directors created the Derby Protection Group to outbid all suitors and maintain control of the company - also successfully driving stock up significantly. The first (and only) Derby winner disqualification took place in 1968, when the winner, Dancer's Image, was found to have had an illegal medication in its blood during post-race testing. The 1950s also saw vast improvements and renovations done to Churchill Downs, modernizing and expanding the track. The first national telecast came three years later, on and a video replay system was installed for the first time in 1954. The first televised Derby - on a local channel and a limited basis - was run in 1949. Over the 10 years from 1940 to 1950, Churchill Downs Foundation donated $1.5 million to war charities and other causes. In 1943, government travel restrictions precluded the sale of any out-of-town tickets, and Count Fleet won a race known as the "Street Car Derby." The government banned all horse racing in January 1945, threatening the Derby's continuous run of races, but it was lifted in May and the 71st Derby was held in June. World War II provided some challenges for the Derby, but it continued each year. The ATA was dissolved in 1953, and Churchill Downs became the sole holding company. After Latonia was sold in 1943, the company became just Churchill Downs Incorporated. Two years later, the first Kentucky Derby Festival was held.Īfter the American Turf Association sold many of its holdings, Churchill Downs and Latonia merged into its own incorporated company, Churchill Downs-Latonia Incorporated, in 1937. Its first international broadcast came not long after, when the transmission was sent from Louisville to New Jersey to England in 1933. In 1925, the race was broadcast live on the radio for the first time, spreading its popularity across the country. ![]() By 1928, the American Turf Association was the new holding company for Churchill Downs and its partner tracks. The club obtained several new tracks in both Kentucky and Illinois and eventually reorganized as a holding company to increase its capitalization by almost 100 percent. Having been taken over yet again, and consolidating its power with other Kentucky racing sites, the Derby became part of the Kentucky Jockey Club and its popularity grew over the next decade. After two record-setting years and a history-making race the next, the Derby had become a premier American sporting event. The Derby had another marquee year in 1915, when Regret became the first filly to win the race. That record was broken again just a year later, when Old Rosebud set a track record of 2:03.40 - winning the race by eight lengths. He won in 2:04.80, at the time the fastest time ever run. Donerail paid out $184.90 on a $2 bet and collected $5,475 for the victory. In 1913, Donerail became the longest shot ever to win the Derby, at $92.40 to 1 odds. Despite the high attendance and popularity of the event, the Derby and the Louisville Jockey Club were not financially successful, and it was bought and incorporated in 1894. The first race was won by a 3-year-old chestnut colt, Aristides. Four races were scheduled that day, but the Derby was the premier event. The first Kentucky Derby took place on May 17, 1875, and was watched by more than 10,000 viewers. Lewis Clark, the Derby was the first of its kind in the South and was modeled after popular stakes races in England. The first Derby, though, came about 100 years later, in 1875. Horse racing has been a popular sport in Kentucky for more than 150 years, with the first race course laid out in Lexington in 1789. ![]()

![]() ![]() It is based not only on a specific bird, a Red Phalarope, but also on the other birds even at the Wissahickon Waterfowl Preserve that day. Such is the case with my newest moku hanga. I want to abstract the bird, especially in the interests of the entire picture, But sometimes I don’t even want a balance. Sometimes I still get a pretty good balance I think. I no longer want to sublimate building a picture to accurate bird portrayal. In doing so I sublimated my interest in building a picture. So I spent 5-10 years trying to paint and draw them somewhat realstically. To finally get to the point (!!) I also realized that I didn’t want to fudge my inability to draw birds with some degree of accuracy and realism by resorting to abstraction. And because I knew what they looked like it was easy to see how wrong my work often was! All the formal elements of abstraction could be used in realism. and art magazines in the early 90s, coupled with my practice of drawing insects that I found in the garden, eventually led me to use birds as my primary subject.Īs I did so I was surprised to find what an easy transition it was from abstraction to naturalism/realism! Except that I did have a fair idea of what birds looked like. An overall disillusionment with the art popular in galleries. One of my main concerns was making the picture ‘hang together,’ or as Matisse said to have every inch of the surface contribute something to the overall work.Īs my work veered toward abstraction that seemed organic and seemed to reference the natural world in some way I also started considering those references when I built my pictures. During my many years as an abstract artist that remained true. In my many years as an artist, but particularly in my early years, including all the time I was studying art in college, my art was about building pictures, not portraying something. I never did find it but I did run across one on ‘building a picture.’ It touches on the same subject. 9x12 inches.Įarlier today I was looking through some of my earliest blog posts trying to find one in which I talked about the problem of making a painting that had a bird as the subject. Red Phalarope at Wissahickon Waterfowl Preserve. ![]() ![]() ![]() Some applications will have some restrictions, such as not being able to save using the trial version or having a set number of frames.

The community was the only time when I could communicate, other than with my friends at school. As I said, Instagram is off limits to me, and so are other socializing apps. Please, I would really appreciate if you could bring the community back into the app. I know I should leave the artwork, then return to it to save it would work, but sometimes I am too lost in drawing, and forget. Since today is the only day I started, I am not certain, but I hope that when you are in the middle of painting, you will not suddenly be kicked out of the app and all your progress for the painting is not lost. I think, if you were to make the update more useful than just switching my beloved community to Instagram, which I can’t even use, you could at least add more brushes. It made it easier for me to draw/paint backgrounds or color in. The new artwork process, including easily turn your canvas and the guides system is quite helpful, although I enjoyed the snap when reaching the canvas maximum. I happen not to be permitted on Instagram, and now all my friends, socializing and posts are lost. The community has now disappeared, and you can only access it from Instagram.

Jerry’s whale guitar tone really came into its own on this record. Production wise they nailed it, and branched out beyond the Dirt sound while incorporating some of the subtler Jar of Flies approach, though I prefer the Unplugged versions of Sludge Factory and Frogs as those are pretty cluttered mixes at times. Especially on the heels of Mad Season’s Above, which was so much more consistent and engrossing a listen, AIC was a mixed bag, but still great overall. Other stuff like Nothing Song, Head Creeps, Brush Away, etc did come across as a bit slight/tossed off, which was kind of a red flag. Some of my favorite AIC tracks ever are on this: Again, Over Now, Shame in You, and Frogs are all unique and great entries from them. Lyrically Layne is pretty inscrutable here as well, though Jerry’s tunes are as engaging as always.Īnyway, I bought it and loved it when it came out. Certainly any traces of their more ‘metal’ side are absent, other than Grind. My guess is fans were maybe disappointed that it wasn’t as hard hitting as the first two LPs. The singles were all pretty strong and got decent airplay but by ‘95/‘96 there were plenty of other trends competing for attention, and overall it is a weird collection of tunes. I think a bunch of amazing albums from that era were overlooked for some reason, one clear example is this one, the other being Down on the Upside by Soundgarden (very experimental that found a band treading new ground), Dust by Screaming Trees and Above by Mad Season (amazing one-album project featuring Layne Staley and members from Pearl Jam and Screaming Trees).Ĭlick to expand.It’s overlooked but I understand why. I think the album suffered due to the band's turmoil and crises, plus the state of music at that time was still mourning the huge loss, at least in the Seattle scene. Dirt and Jar of Flies certainly sound very different and are masterpieces in their own right. I've always said that the only way to follow a masterpiece and not fall short on greatness is to record something much more different. The whole thing sounds very claustrophobic and at times isolated (like in Frogs and Shame in You) and I'm glad for it because every record they made has its own sound, production and signature. The subject matters were darker and the delivery felt more aggressive and I think the anger really came through in the sound. Overall, it's an album that hits the spot personally as I never did overplay it like all the others. Songs like Shame In You, Nothing Song, Head Creeps and God Am were very different from anything the band had done and the songs on that album that were performed in the Unplugged concert are some of my favorites as well. It's also arguably an overall darker tone than previous albums, with Dirt being more depressing and personal. Though not exactly the classic Alice in Chains sound most people know them by, I find it to be the most haunting personally. The s/t AiC release sound extraordinary to my ears because of its sound and atmosphere. ![]() ![]() All their albums were a huge influence in my life and they all remain very dear to me. When I discovered Soundgarden and Alice In Chains back in 2005 they changed my view of non-classic rock music. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Da Costa took up the circular shape with 12 Ayrton AlienPix-RS fixtures, whose circular arrangement of emitters provided a pleasant contrast with their straight beams and gave da Costa many additional movement options.įinally, Da Costa perfected his design by adding 96 MagicBlade-R fixtures to the overhead grid, using the stylish linear fixtures to span the main stage to the left and right, and open out the dimensions of the stage by creating a ceiling of imposing, rich, dynamic light-images. Throughout the show, large, indirectly-illuminated circular screens on the backdrop provided an eye-catching feature of centre stage. The units have done a great job on the German version of American Idol and a number of other productions I’ve used them on since.” “Now the addition of the zoom function in the MagicPanel-FX makes the fixture a perfect all-rounder. “I already liked the MagicPanel-R which I used, for example, for the German TV production 500 Fragen with Günther Jauch,” says da Costa. ![]() He used a total of 56 MagicPanel-FX to edge the main stage and delineate the catwalks, from which position he could project their beams out into the audience, create stunning aerial effects and show off the beauty of MagicPanel-FX’s unusual square-lensed face to the audience and cameras. Having already worked on several TV productions with Ayrton’s new MagicPanel-FX, da Costa was clear from the very beginning that the French manufacturer’s exciting zoom panel units had to be present as a major feature in his design. The whole was brought to colourful, dynamic life by an impressive lighting design from the imagination of Manuel da Costa, with Jonas König and Christoph Damm engaged as his assistants.ĭa Costa chose to incorporate no less than 164 Ayrton fixtures as key components of his multi-facetted and versatile design, all of which were supplied for the event by MAGIC light + sound (MLS) of Cologne and Motion, Group, Fürth. The set featured long, serpentine catwalks that wound from the main stage into the audience to accommodate the final fashion show and ‘Walk-Off’ runway challenges for the competitors. The spectacular, full-scale production – now an eagerly-awaited climax to the annual competition – was broadcast live from the König Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen by Germany’s ProSieben channel, and presented by the show’s regulars, supermodel Heidi Klum, and judges Michael Michalsky and Thomas Hayo.Įxpectations for the finale remain high and this year’s show did not disappoint.
