I wanted you to see the CD rainbow.
While writing a blog post, I placed a live Allman Brothers compact disc I had played—the case was temporarily misplaced, as is often the situation —on top of the Bonnie Raitt album I was listening to. A former work colleague had burned the Allman album for me, which I played in honor of Duane’s birthday later in November. BTW, Bonnie’s birthday is also in November.
Then I saw the rainbow image on my printer. Where did THAT come from? The ceiling light hit the CD and reflected – or more correctly, refracted – onto the printer. See the color streaks on the CD? I cannot see them with the naked eye.
I tried replicating the shot with a blank silver disc, but the resultant colors were too muted. Have I mentioned that I love accidental rainbows? There was no intentionality, which creates the joy.
I suppose I should have some music:
Mountain Jam (Live At Fillmore East, March 13, 1971 – Second Show) – The Allman Brothers Band
There Is A Mountain – Donovan
Mississippi Queen – Mountain
Give It Up or Let Me Go – Bonnie Raitt
