HAPPY BIRTHDAY to multi-media artist and singer-songwriter Ben Kaplan. We both once hailed from Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and we intersected on stage and in the studio. He called me in to play on his DEEPER DOWN album. I thought, “Cool. Some real singer-songwriter-ing going on.” His edgy music plays between John Prine-ish Americana and alternative rock. Today he lives in St. Louis and I in San Francisco, but the music we did on his DEEPER DOWN album puts us on a timeless map. We were joined by fine musicians Tim Breon, Bill Engel, Bill Matlack Jr., and Easy Mark Tomeo. https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/track/deeper-down HB BK and thank you for your creative spark.

Hello can I ask a question, just wanna make sure who was tomeo first love before nanami

Of course you can!! Okay let me explain, now, before I do

SPOILERS!! DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT THEM

So in order to understand this you need to have knowledge of Kamisama Hajimemashita's concept of time. In this case, time is a loop.

Consider this, if you go back in time and kill your grandfather, that would mean you cease to exist, correct? However, if you didn't exist, your grandfather wouldn't have been killed by you, therefore, nothing changes.

Another way of thinking of this would be:

You going into the past was already predicted and although it is your present, the actions you commit are already the past

Doesn't make sense? Hopefully this will explain it better.

Tomoe was in love with a human woman and so made a deal with a fallen god to turn human, and in return he was to marry this human for life. Unfortunately, she dies, leaving Tomoe with a curse mark which will eventually kill him. This is when Mikage finds him and in an attempt to save his life, makes him forget about his past, the contract and in-turn, the woman.

Now, who is this woman, you ask?

Do you remember when Tomoe takes Nanami's place at school because she's ill? Mizuki comes over with his incense burner and tells her Tomoe was far different in the past, so she goes back in time to see him?

She meets the feral Tomoe there, before he is a familiar. We see that Tomoe takes a liking to the girl, calling her a 'fine catch' and such, before tossing her once Akura-Ou arrives.

Nanami takes her chance and escaped back to the present, however, her actions were already mediated by the past. When she went back in time, the sight of her interests the past Tomoe and he finds himself thinking about her more than he usually would.

However, this is only brought up during the ending ovas of Kako-Hen.

Tomoe had fallen in love with Nanami [present times], this causes him to remember everything Mikage suppressed and in turn, brings back the cursed marks. Tomoe will die in seven days if nothing is done, so, determined as ever, Nanami springs back into the past to find a solution to save Tomoe. She hopes to find the fallen god he made the deal with.

Nanami, unfortunately, is caught by men who think she is a yokai due to her clothing, however, she is saved by a woman. This same woman takes her in and looks after her for the time being,

This woman is Yukiji

Nanami recognises her as the woman Tomoe loves [as per the episode where the Dragon King captures Tomoe and she goes to the past to prevent Tomoe from doing wrong to the king in the first place]

Nanami soon discovers that Yukiji hates yokai as they massacred her village and family. She is confused as to how something between her and Tomoe could have started up, if that was the case.

Now, I'm not going into the whole ova plots for the sake of simplicity, but past Tomoe soon recognises Nanami, as the girl he had taken an interest in [refer up where she goes back in time when Mizuki brings the incense burner], yet, he doesn't know her name. So when Akura-Ou speaks of a village beauty he wishes to make his own, Tomoe immediately connects the dots and deducts that the woman Akura refers to is in fact, Nanami. [However, Akura-Ou is actually referring to Yukiji].

Yukiji is to travel to another area [idk all the details forgive me], yet her father is sceptical due to the recent yokai attacks. This is when Nanami steps up as says she will disguise herself as Yukiji and do it instead. They agreed to this and Nanami is made to look exactly like, or at least, close enough to Yukiji

Nanami then goes on the little journey and is attacked by one of Akura-Ou's men in a staged kidnapping. Tomoe arrives and stops the creature, taking Nanami for himself.

Again, I'm not getting into detail but Nanami and Tomoe spend a lot of time together, with Nanami not letting up the guise of 'Yukiji', Tomoe assumes whoever he is spending all this time with is in fact, Yukiji instead of Nanami

Eventually, Tomoe asks Nanami to marry him, Nanami, although touched, tells him that one day she will be his wife. Tomoe requests that she gives him something as a 'promise' that she will indeed, one day, be his wife. Nanami gives him the hairpin that present Tomoe gave her as a gift

Nanami then leaves, as her time in the past as brought her body to a weakened state. Meanwhile, still in the past - Tomoe finds a fallen god and makes a deal with them to turn human, he presents the hairpin as a sort of 'seal' for this arrangement. The fallen god tells him that if he does not marry the human, he will die

Yukiji is killed by Akura-Ou and because Tomoe had been under the impression that the woman, Yukiji, was the love of his life - and the one he had made the deal over, the contract was broken and therefor, Tomoe was to die because he did not marry the human

Nanami discovers that it is her hairpin that is the key and ends up saving Tomoe, who now knows that it was Nanami all along. That she was the one whom he fell in love with and wanted to spend his life with, not Yukiji.

So, to put it simply. Nanami is the woman Tomoe loved in the past, it was always her. The only difference is that Tomoe was under the impression that Nanami was Yukiji due to the circumstances and information he recieved.

I hope that answers your question anon!! I'm also open for these types of things, idm explaining more and so on!

If SASUKE fought Neji in the Chunin Exams finals instead of Naruto, who do you think would have won and why?

I would have to give the win to Sasuke.

Now while Neji could potentially block off Sasuke’s chakra points with his 8 Trigrams 64 Palms technique as well as having his Rotation which is deadly, don’t forget Sasuke has a two tomeo Sharingan as well as the Chidori.

And if things get too sticky for Sasuke, he has the Curse Mark to fall back on, which would definitely be too much for Neji considering how hard he struggled against Naruto’s Nine Tails chakra.

So I think it’d be a hard fight on both side, but Sasuke would eventually take the win.

#anonymous #asks #replies #sasuke uchiha #neji hyuga #man we should've gotten this fight!!#AND we could've had naruto vs gaara also!

FRIDAY FLASHBACK—“Navajo” by Ben Kaplan… https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/track/navajo Yá’át’ééh. The Wayback Machine lands on 1999 to a recording session in Pennsylvania, but the song feels more like the 4 Corners of the Southwest—that mystical region with ominous mesas, vast skies, and the murmur of long-gone civilizations. “Navajo” was the opening song from Ben’s fine album, DEEPER DOWN. On this track I played keyboards along with Bill Engel (banjo, guitar), Tamara Kaplan (vocals), Bill Matlack, Jr. (drums), and Easy Mark Tomeo (pedal steel guitar). It was engineered and produced by Tim Breon, who also played bass and guitar. Ben morphed into a multi-media artist and now lives in St. Louis. Enjoy this track and remember our Native American brothers and sisters:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to The 1998 Khmer Rouge apology, Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers’s first movie FLYING DOWN TO RIO (1932), Gali Atari, Baltimore artist Eric Block, Mayor Tom Bradley, singer-songwriter Ed Bruce, Pablo Casals, Bernard Cribbins, Rick Danko, Ted Danson, Yvonne Elliman, Marianne Faithfull, Neil "Spyder" Giraldo, New Orleans clarinetist Willie Humphrey, Scott Joplin’s 1902 song “The Entertainer,” Bollywood actor Rajesh Khanna, Jude Law, Franz Liszt’s 1857 symphonic poem "Die Hunnenschlacht,” jazz-Celtic singer Laurel Massé, Clyde McCoy, Dina Merrill, Mary Tyler Moore, Matt “Guitar” Murphy, cellist-composer Kiyoshi Nobutoki, Glen Phillips (Toad the Wet Sprocket), Paula Poundstone, Cozy Powell, rockabilly DJ/singer-songwriter Glenn Reeves, Jim Reid, The San Francisco Symphony, Marco Antonio Solís, Barbara Steele, The Supremes’s 1965 single “My World is Empty Without You,” Ray Thomas (Moody Blues), “Billy” Tipton, Jo Van Fleet, Jon Voight, Roger Voudouris, and my friend and musical compadre “Easy” Mark Tomeo. I lack photos of Mark and I together, so I grabbed pivotal images from Mark’s fascinating career as a champion of pedal steel, resonator, and twang guitar + singer-songwriter. He was in the Grammy-nominated “New Wave cowboy” band Rubber Rodeo (shown here)—in the 80s RR played at Mabuhay Gardens in San Francisco while I just happened to be lurking nearby. The world got smaller when Mark and I met in Pennsylvania, performing and recording with Ben Kaplan, some Badlees-spinoff projects, and extensively with the band Neon Cactus. Circa 2000 I was working with Davy Jones (Monkees) on his JUSTME series of original recordings. Davy wanted a pedal steel guitarist, and I summoned Mark. Here’s “Hold Me Tight,” a Tex-Mex samba we did; the Mike Nesmith-ian arrangement was Davy’s idea:

Meanwhile HB EMT. By the time I get to Phoenix anything can happen…

FRIDAY FLASHBACK https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/track/hold-me-tight —Recently we were in Arizona, finding inspiration and making visitations. In Phoenix we caught up with “Easy” Mark Tomeo, master of pedal steel/resonator guitar and currently working in the band Last Train to Juarez. At a coffee shop (including free pie from a couple at the next table), Mark and I reminisced about a busy phase circa 1999-2001. Back then I was multi-tasking as a solo act + doing numerous studio projects + live gigs with gospel singers, Davy Jones, and a country band called Neon Cactus—in which Mark was a key player. Along the way Mark and I intersected on a Davy Jones recording of the song “Hold Me Tight” (w/the late, great Jerry Renino on bass), which appeared on Davy’s acclaimed JUST ME album series. The unique country-samba vibe of “Hold Me Tight” raised eyebrows and drew comparisons to Mike Nesmith’s country side, but it was totally Davy’s arrangement (the lyrics were deeply personal). https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/track/hold-me-tight

FRIDAY FLASHBACK “Lovesong Appalachia” by Ben Kaplan https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/track/lovesong-appalachia

Autumn leaves and the yearly changing of the leaves is not reliant on calendars and time machines. God’s natural theatre has been going on long before we started telling stories and writing love songs. The Time Machine dials up 1999-ish and the creation of Ben Kaplan’s excellent DEEPER DOWN album, made in Williamsport, Pennsylvania—where you can watch the leaves turning colors with ease. On this track I played keyboards with Tim Breon (bass, mixing), Bill Engel (guitar), Bill Matlack, Jr. (drums), and Easy Mark Tomeo (pedal steel guitar). It was engineered and produced by Tim Breon, who also played some cool bass on this track. Since then Ben morphed into a multi-media artist and now lives in St. Louis. Meanwhile, enjoy this slice of music informed by the heart of Appalachia.
