It's Ian Anderson from the Too Old To Rock 'n Roll music video... right after he stares up a woman's skirt with binoculars. Just too ridiculous to pass up.

I thought that was Ian. Either that or a crazy pirate!

My original avatar is this one

which I chose because my avatar name is a song on an album with this cover.

My current avatar is a protest against the discrimination of robots on this site! Angry

It shows Robbie, an intelligent robot and main character of the popular German children's book 'Robbi, Tobbi und das Fliewatüüt' by Boy Lornsen. The picture is taken from the film adaption in 1972.

Visit me in Second Life to talk about music.

Discrimination against 'robots' on this site...?

WTF...?

;)

One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

A band web site is currently under construction. I can't tell when it will go up, but I hope we can get to that within a few weeks.

"What does Elvish rock music sound like?" - "Yes."

I've had a few avatars during my 12½-year stay in PA. Once it was the CAMEL cover A Nod and a Wink, and when I lost it (there was some technical updating, I guess) I chose a picture from the list in the Control Panel. The shape of a white, much stylished horse against the black background was probably my longest-running avatar.

I just decided to change it at last. This is the cover of my second prog book, dealing with all-time Finnish prog.

I designed it myself, using some album covers for the letters.

EDIT: I changed my avatar (in April or May 2018, don't remember exactly) from the Prog Finlandia cover to Pieter Brueghel's Hunters in the Snow, one of my favourite paintings.

^I'd like to know more about the pic that is not the avatar.

To which fall festival do you refer? What do you do during the proceedings/ceremony/ritual?

we are High Priestesses of Gaia, the ancient Greek Goddess of the Earth. the solstices and equinoxes, which mark the beginning of the four seasons, are our holy days. we paint ourselves head to toe in the color of the beginning season - green for the grass of spring, red for the flowers of summer, yellowish-brown for the leaves of fall and white for the snow of winter. we dance and sing hymns of praise to Gaia, bring offerings of flowers and fruits of the season (nuts for winter) and take fly agaric to have visions.

we also developed a calendar of our own. it has 13 months with 28 days each + a New Year's Day that does not belong to any month or week. in leap years New Year's Day is followed by leap day which also does not belong to any month or week. since the weekdays of this calendar are not identical with the weekdays of the Gregorian calendar we named the weekday after the 7 Pleiades. the months are named after Greek Goddesses.

this calendar has the advantage that the same date will fall on the same weekday every year. what's more, every month starts with the same weekday, so calculating which weekday a certain date falls on is totally easy
