Bisbee Royale

Orbs Glide Room Waiting

What happens when there is no band to excite the orbs? Just like us they continue to exist.

This stage has served many purposes. It was once the focal point for a church congregation.

The inside of the Bisbee Royale building was completely remodeled in 2011-12, but years of good vibes remain.

Long after the church sold the building it was the place for Bisbee to create theater.

You have probably been wondering about all those orbs. Are they just a result of theater lighting? This is what the stage looks like when my flash doesn’t go off. The colors are richer, the image isn’t as grainy and low contrast. If I wasn’t questing for orbs, I certainly wouldn’t be taking flash photographs.

Here is the same angle with flash. As I’ve mentioned before, Dr. Miceal Ledwith, co-author of The Orb Project, thinks that the orbs are revealed by a florescence by which the flash excites something in the orbs which makes them flash back at the camera. Brilliant sunlight can sometimes have the same effect.

But it’s night-time, and I was taking way too many flash photographs of the Andy T Band featuring Nick Nixon. Just couldn’t help myself. So, I stepped outside to break the grip of attraction and see if any orbs were on the loose in town.

I’ve shown a picture of the Bisbee Royale’s box office before, can’t remember if it was painted the last time I photographed the building. The white globe on the side really is a light bulb. However, that isn’t the moon or a star or a street lamp high up on the left.

Orbs Gather for Andy T Band featuring Nick Nixon

I wandered into the sound check of the Andy T Band of Nashville, Tennessee this evening while questing for orbs.

Markey, the female backup singer, is already an orb enthusiast.

Friends and family of the band amused themselves playing “catch the orb” while we waited for the show to start.

Sound check had the orbs interested, but when Nick Nixon, formerly of the New Imperials, took center stage, the orbs turned up their wattage.

The band has been crisscrossing Arizona for a few weeks and are homeward bound for a day in Nashville.

They obviously enjoy working together. And their music brought out the best in orbs.

I must admit that every time I got an extra-large luminous orb in my camera I showed it off to friends in the audience. Can’t help but share the joy of orbs with each and everyone!

I gave up my rule about only one flash per song. There are too many choice moments to see how the orbs are reacting to the music.

Nick Nixon trained to sing opera when he left high school, which he had to unlearn when he took up rhythm and blues. But, man, he can really light up an orb when he lets loose with his full-bodied vocals.

To learn more about this Chicago, Texas, New Orleans, Blues, and R&B band whose hometown is in Nashville, Tennessee you can find them on Facebook listed under Andy T – Nick Nixon Band. The Andy T Band also has a website:http://www.andytband.com/Music.htm  This will direct you to their Facebook page where you’ll get to hear some soul-stirring, wish you were there, music.

Thanks to the Andy T Band: Andy T – guitar, Nick Nixon – vocals and guitar, Larry Van Loon – keys, Bill Blois – bass, Jim Klinger – drums, Markey – backup vocals.

And, thanks to Shawnee Hicks, sound engineer for the Bisbee Royale.

Not Halloween Orbs

There’s something about a full moon on Halloween that makes me stay home. Even though there’s a hot and exciting band playing a short stride downhill from my house.

So, I looked in my files for another costumed night at the Bisbee Royale and found these men dressed in red and looking for their own hot night on the town.

I hope you all stayed safe and are recovering from the storm.

Incendio Incites Orbs at Bisbee Royale

The orbs were with Incendio playing at Arizona’s Bisbee Royale on Friday, October 26, 2012

Artists and musicians in the attentive crowd were mesmerized by the latin-guitar-world fusion groove that Incendio lay down with haunting passion.

It was a night of enthusiastic response to intricate rhythms and guitar riffs.

Bisbee belly dancers joined the band for the second half of the show.

The orbs gave full approval of the band and dance combo.

Once again the Bisbee Royale lit up the universe with an otherworldly fusion of music and orbs.

Thanks to Jean-Pierre Durand, Liza Carbe, Jim Stubblefield, and Nicole Falzone of Incendio.

Sloane Bouchever, proprietor and general manager of Bisbee Royale.

Closeup on Orbs

For this post I’m going to zero in on some of the orbs which appeared with the bands Pick and Holler and The Tryst at the Bisbee Royale this past Saturday night.  There was such a flock of orbs attracted to these superb bands that some may have been overlooked in the crowd, or at least deserve closer scrutiny.

You may be asking, what exactly are orbs? I know that Pick and Holler asked that question just today.

Klaus Heinemann, co-author of the Orb Project, holds a Ph.D. in experimental physics and was a material science researcher at NASA, considers orbs to be “emanations of spiritual beings”. Just like the headlights of a car are not the driver, the orbs are not the spiritual being, but its emanation.

Dr. Miceal Ledwith, co-author of the Orb Project, was professor of systematic theology and then president of the Maynooth College university, thinks that the orbs are revealed through a fluorescence in which they shoot back the light of the camera’s flash.

From my observation, orbs are attracted to heartfelt moments of enthusiasm and passion.

That is not a dinner plate on the pianist’s shirt, it’s an emanation of a spiritual being. I say that out of respect to Dr. Heinemann who thinks that calling them orbs is like calling royalty by their first names.

One does get a sense of profoundness from the larger orbs.

To see the orbs in your photos you’ll have to slide up the brightness and slide down the contrast to bring out the fainter background orbs.

This orb appeared between Nowhere Man and Whiskey Girl on Saturday night and it was so prominent that I went around the Bisbee Royale showing the image to anyone I could find. We’ll end this post with a few more cameos:

Thanks to Matt Minjares, Carolyn Camp, Lindsay Cates, and Ty Peterson of Pick and Holler.

Keli Carpenter, Taylor Bungard, Aldy Montufar, Aaron Hultstrand, and Erik Truelove of The Tryst.

Amy Lopez Ross and Derrick Ross of Nowhere Man and Whiskey Girl.

Sloane Bouchever, proprietor and general manager of the Bisbee Royale.

And, Klaus Heinemann, Ph.D. for taking the time to look at this blog and encourage me to continue my quest for orbs.

Orbs Dance to Pick and Holler

This is the scene that greeted me last night at the Bisbee Royale. A lively band that sent the orbs soaring.

Pick and Holler came to Bisbee to wow the crowd of 1000 Stair Climbers.

No one was shy, everyone was ready to party.

You might wonder if all these orbs are perhaps a result of the theater lighting. If that were the case, I wouldn’t need flash to reveal the orbs, but I can get the theater lighting without flash.

There is a theory that the more you look for orbs, the more you will find in your photos.

Of course the orbs are here for this enthusiasm and passion.

Pick and Holler gets everyone dancing, including orbs, at the Bisbee Royale.

Tryst and Bisbee Royale: Hot Spot tonight: Orbs agree!

The scene of the Bisbee Royale 1000 Stair Climb after the after parties.

Pick and Holler was just what the runners needed to let off steam and enjoy the evening.

Nowhere Man and Whiskey Girl helped us wind down with their renowned lamentations.

I stepped out of the Bisbee Royale between bands and when I returned a sea change had occcured.

Musicians highjacked our reality.

Tryst had arrived with a capital A.

Tryst commanded our attention and put us in present time.

Tryst doesn’t just play songs, it played us an album of searing demands.

Even the orbs were lining up in salute.

The orbs know: we are a hot spot in the universe tonight.

Tryst is what the Bisbee Royale was made for: providing the best venue for the best sounds to open our hearts and blow our minds.

Do Orbs Love People?

Orbs loving people. This is of course a silly question, but sometimes one wonders why they hover and glide so closely to us.

Bass player for Buzz and the Soul Senders.  Not the front man, just a sweet looking fellow who has attracted an orb.

Now here’s a large orb attracted to intensity.  The intensity of dancing or of listening to the band, whose orb is this?

I’m going to go out on a limb and declare: orbs love a soloist.

Perhaps orbs just like to ride the sound waves.

Orbs and fine musicians, the perfect combo.

Could be they’re just looking for a good dance party like the rest of us.

Bisbee Orbs After 5

Saturday night in Bisbee, Arizona where the monthly Bisbee After 5 brings people downtown to gallery hop

and eat at Cafe Roka.

After visiting with the gallery artists I went trolling for orbs and found this one in front of my favorite treasure trove of orbs,

the Bisbee Royale.

There were also a few across the street at the box office. The white bulb on the building really is a light bulb, not an orb.

This beauty of an orb outshines the street lamp.

We run out of downtown quickly in Bisbee.  Turn the corner and the woods are upon you.

Like a pale moon the orb hovers over one of Bisbee sculptor Ben Dale’s statues.

I wonder if this tear drop beauty is following me from downtown?

It’s been a quiet night for orbs compared to performances at the Bisbee Royale, just a nice laid back Saturday night with a few orb companions like good old Tear Drop.

Amy Goodman at Bisbee Royale

Amy Goodman of Democracy Now on tour with her New York Times bestseller book, Silenced Majority,

 at the Bisbee Royale on Friday, October 12, 2012 The orbs were with her!

Amy Goodman is a passionate speaker, exactly what orbs are attracted to: heartfelt moments.

The orbs sailed over the crowd of community radio enthusiasts as Amy Goodman related story after story.

Amy Goodman is a compelling speaker who relishes each encounter which she describes in detail.

Even the orbs pay attention when Amy Goodman speaks.

One can’t help but admire a person who lives with so much passion and conviction.
