Today I took a ZOOM class tour through the new-enough (2005) National
Convention Center in Philly
by a guy who was a consultant on it, the former historian of the House of
Representatives. Lotsa
working details on the decisions made, shit I love.

We stopped to look at and talk about the famous painting---by Childs---about
the Convention gathering itself.

So, remember and go back and listen to MURDER MOST FOUL and renotice the
lines about "the rising sun'
which seemed okay enough in sorta alluding to a new (conceptual) America,
right?

Well, the chair that Geo Washington sat on at the convention is called the
Chair of the Rising Sun.
