 A supergroup is a music group whose members are already successful as solo artists or as part of other groups or well known in other professions. Usually used in the context of rock and pop music, the term has been applied to other musical genres such as The Three Tenors in opera.

The term is sometimes applied retrospectively when several members from a group later achieve notable success in their own right. Supergroups are sometimes formed as side projects and thus not intended to be permanent, while other times can become the primary project of the members' careers. Charity supergroups, where prominent musicians perform or record together in support of a particular cause have been common since the 1980s.

THE CHAMBER MUSIC OF LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN

Trio for Piano, Violin & Cello in G, Op. 1/2, Second Movement

This movement is marked “largo con espressione” (“very, very slowly with expression”) in 3/4 time. It’s in the remote key of E Major, and while it is not yet a Beethoven conversation with God, it’s heartfelt just the same. In spite of its major key, it has moments of pathos, something that Franz Schubert would turn into his trademark a generation later.

Beethoven: Piano Trio in G, Op. 1/2, Second Movement”

Missing Man Setting

"The Empty Chair"

By Captain Carroll "Lex" Lefon, USN (RET), on December 21st, 2004

"In the wardroom onboard the aircraft carrier from which I recently debarked was a small, round table, with single chair. No one ever sat there, and the reasons, both for the table being there, and for the fact that the chair was always empty, will tell the reader a little bit about who we are as a culture. The wardroom, of course, is where the officers will dine; morning, noon and evening. It is not only a place to eat – it is also a kind of oasis from the sometimes dreary, often difficult exigencies of the service. A place of social discourse, of momentary relief from the burdens of the day. The only things explicitly forbidden by inviolable tradition in the wardroom are the wearing of a cover or sword by an officer not actually on watch, or conversation which touches upon politics or religion. But aboard ships which observe the custom, another implicit taboo concerns the empty chair: No matter how crowded the room, no matter who is waiting to be seated, that chair is never moved, never taken.

The table is by the main entrance to the wardroom. You will see it when you enter, and you will see it when you leave. It draws your eyes because it is meant to. And because it draws your eyes it draws your thoughts. And though it will be there every day for as long as you are at sea, you will look at it every time and your eyes will momentarily grow distant as you think for a moment. As you quietly give thanks.

AS YOU REMEMBER.

The small, round table is covered with a gold linen tablecloth. A single place setting rests there, of fine bone china. A wineglass stands upon the table, inverted, empty. On the dinner plate is a pinch of salt. On the bread plate is a slice of lemon. Besides the plate lies a bible. There is a small vase with a single red rose upon the table. Around the vase is wound a yellow ribbon. There is the empty chair.

We will remember because over the course of our careers, we will have had the opportunity to enjoy many a formal evening of dinner and dancing in the fine company of those with whom we have the honor to serve, and their lovely ladies. And as the night wears on, our faces will in time become flushed with pleasure of each other’s company, with the exertions on the dance floor, with the effects of our libations. But while the feast is still at its best, order will be called to the room – we will be asked to raise our glasses to the empty table, and we will be asked to remember:

The table is round to show our everlasting concern for those who are missing. The single setting reminds us that every one of them went to their fates alone, that every life was unique.

The tablecloth is gold symbolizing the purity of their motives when they answered the call to duty.

The single red rose, displayed in a vase, reminds us of the life of each of the missing, and their loved ones who kept the faith.

The yellow ribbon around the vase symbolizes our continued determination to remember them.

The slice of lemon reminds us of the bitterness of their fate.
The salt symbolizes the tears shed by those who loved them.
The bible represents the faith that sustained them.
The glass is inverted — they cannot share in the toast.
The chair is empty — they are not here. They are missing.

And we will remember, and we will raise our glasses to those who went before us, and who gave all that they had for us. And a part of the flush in our faces will pale as we remember that nothing worth having ever came without a cost. We will remember that many of our brothers and sisters have paid that cost in blood. We will remember that the reckoning is not over.

We many of us will settle with our families into our holiday season, our Christmas season for those who celebrate it, content in our fortune and prosperity. We will meet old friends with smiles and laughter. We will meet our members of our family with hugs. We will eat well, and exchange gifts and raise our glasses to the year passed in gratitude, and to the year to come with hope. We will sleep the sleep of the protected, secure in our homes, secure in our homeland.

But for many families, there will be an empty chair at the table this year. A place that is not filled.

WE SHOULD REMEMBER."

Many Thanks To Alfa6 For Finding Capt. Lefon's Chronicle Of "The Empty Chair."

[PROCON]

Hiya Navy Bro!

I hope all is well with you and yours; all is good on this end.

I'm just reveling in the Spring and 70 degree weather out west.

[left that other site]

OK. So I’m Late.

Hi Everybody!

((((HUGS))))

[PROCON]

Evening Luvvy, sounds like you and the girls are having a blast!

[PROCON]

Mine!

[luvie]

Howdy, Mr. P! I saw that you’ve been pretty darn busy providing us with lots of good wallerin’ stuff!

I will be on later...or maybe tomorrow. My grand girls are still awake and need more spoiling! :)

[luvie]

Yup!!!...yours!

....and yup!...we’re having fun! :)

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

Dudess! I know that you are in your glory right now! But you really shouldn’t spoil them, ya know! ;-)

[ConorMacNessa]

And thank you, Maestro, for selecting the Israel Piano Trio for this piece. They stand with us as Soldiers of Art against our ancient enemy - both theologically and geo-politicaly.

I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

Troops Having a Bit of Fun
Video

[Publius]

I never reproduced. One experience I would have enjoyed would have been to show my grandson the daily racing form and say, “Now — we got a problem in the fifth race.”

[Publius]

The pianist and cellist are first rate, but the violinist tends to be off on occasion.

[luvie]

Dude!

They are GRANDkids. That is the definition of spoiled! Doncha know? LOL!

[Charles Martel]

Gonna post this here tonight:

Wherever I Go
- Mark Knopfler (with Ruth Moody)

The lyrics (in the YouTube comments) should resonate with anyone in uniform.

Also, check out the link at the video, they"re accepting videos to go with the song. A military-themed slideshow could work well with this tune. Anyone care to give it a shot? I think the submission deadline is Monday.

Anyway, enjoy. It's a brand new album (this week) and a very nice song.

[Publius]

Knopfler didn’t hang onto his hair! I feel vindicated!
