	Halcyon Days
		Halcyon Days is their first collaboration, a meeting of the minds fueled by high desert ambience and a natural affinity for psychoactive sounds.
		Halcyon Days explores via the extensive, diverse instrumental talents of Roach, Newby and Kent, the essential nature of sound itself: not merely what it is, but what it is created from, and in turn, what it creates.
		Here, in the halcyon days of this trio's two weeks journeying together under the blessing of the gods, we experience the mystery of prolific collaboration, and the fruit of pure musical convergence.

	CRETE: RE:Halcyon days?
		Halcyon is the word for "kingfisher", and the term comes from the story of Alcyone, in Greek mythology (see below).
		The "Halcyon days" are spells of a week, sometimes more, of good, calm, warm, often sunny weather in the midst of the normally stormy, wet winter months (typically January).
		Out of pity the gods changed the pair into kingfishers or halcyons, and Zeus forbade the winds to blow seven days before and after the winter solstice, the breeding season of the halcyon.

		A mythical bird, identified with the kingfisher, that was fabled to nest at sea about the time of the winter solstice and to calm the waves during incubation.
		It was a halcyon life, cocktails and bridge at sunset, white jackets and long gowns at dinner, good gin and Gershwin under the stars.
		Halcyon derives from Latin (h)alcyon, from Greek halkuon, a mythical bird, kingfisher.

	Interesting Thing of the Day: Halcyon Days (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Halcyon days are not a holiday as such, but more of a mythological tradition.
		The Greek words from which the name halcyon is apparently derived mean, roughly, “sea” and “conceive.” Over the centuries, the term came to refer both to the kingfisher (an actual bird) and to the mythical bird that nested on the sea and mysteriously calmed the winds around the time of the winter solstice.
		Unlike the mythical halcyon, kingfishers (of which there are several distinct species) dig holes to nest in, though the holes are sometimes found on river banks and in other spots close to the water.

		When Halcyon Days revived the Georgian craft of enamelling more than 30 years ago, the hand-painted enamel boxes proved to be as popular as ever.

	The Phantom Tollbooth e'zine
		Over the past three years, Halcyon Days have built themselves a reputation as possibly the most popular band on the Belfast club scene to operate within the Christian marketplace.
		It is obvious that as a band they are more concerned with exposing truth in any of its forms than simply pushing one narrow agenda, but the band does not go to any lengths to hide their faith.
		Given the strength of Belfast's Christian music output, and Orr's role within it (as well as playing in Halcyon Days, he is also one of the Maroons and runs a management company, Badger Management), I wondered what artists Halcyon Days have worked with.

	Halcyon
		During the period when the Halcyon is laying and hatching its eggs, the seas are very calm and there is fine weather.
		Halcyon is the Greek word for "kingfisher", from the words hals (the sea) and kuo (brood on.)
		They breed at midwinter, on what are called "Halcyon days", during which the sea is calm and navigable, especially near Sicily.

	The Weather Doctor Almanac 2002
		The Halcyon Days encompass the fourteen-day period centered on the Winter Solstice when the sea is commanded to be calm and the wind light by none other than Aeolus, keeper of the winds and one of the lesser Greek deities.
		The Halcyon Days are not only associated with a stretch of calm seas and good weather but also with the kingfisher, a bird from an avian family found around the world.
		Thus, in this winter month, wrote Simonides of Ceos, he "brings calm to fourteen days that earthlings call the time when the wind is forgotten, the holy breeding-season of the many-coloured alcyon." For this reason, mariners credit the kingfisher, or "alcyon bird," with the power to calm storms and raging seas.

	Halcyon Days - zonExplorer
		Bruce Hornsby fans have their reasons for feeling defensive these days: Despite the stylistic virtuosity and his former gig as a Dead sideman, as a piano-playing, adult-aimed popster he's in danger of being lumped in with Norah Jones and her drowsy disciples.
		HALCYON DAYS also requires a newer mindset than being stuck back in days of his power ballads.
		Though "Dreamland" is a wonderful lullaby, I found it very commercial, while "Halcyon Days" (the single) itself is a meandering paean to the overwrought ballads for which Sting has become so well known.

	Bruuuce.com - Halcyon Days
		Bruce Hornsby's latest album, "Halcyon Days," literally offers something for every type of fan-except perhaps those who fell in love with Bruce's very earliest records and crave a return to that type of sound.
		I think it's safe to say that the days of "The Way It Is" and "Scenes from the Southside" are gone for good.
		"Halcyon Days" offers a nice balance between "Big Swing Face," which left many fans scratching their heads, and Bruce's first forays without The Range, when his trademark 80s sound began to permanently change.

		Halcyon Days was published about five years ago, and while it caught my eye at the time, I never did actually get around to reading it.
		It's a collection of interviews with the programmers of many of the early computer games, back when they were still somewhat of a niche market and often programmed by a single person, rather than the multimillion dollar projects they tend to be currently (Chris Sawyer's wonderful stuff to the contrary).
		If you're interested in the subject matter, Halcyon Days is now available in its entirety online.

		There are a couple of problems with Performance Gallery's Halcyon Days, at the Columbia Performance Center -- partly staging, mostly the Stephen Dietz script.
		At a guess, the reason Halcyon Days is not seeing more current productions is because, apt to the times though its satire might be, it plays more like a Saturday Night Live sketch than theater.
		HALCYON DAYS, presented by the Performance Gallery at the Columbia Performance Center, continues through Saturday.

		The Truth, in October 1948, recalled the halcyon days of the mines when toy buckets filled with sapphires were lined up on the hotel verandas and reported how quick fortunes were made.
		One miner known as 'Darky' wheeled his barrow onto the field and pegged out a claim that contained a veritable natural concentration of sapphire and in a short space of time a fortune was made.
		But, alas, the days of success and laughter were soon to be replaced with days of frustration and tears.

		Most of Halcyon Days, however, sees Hornsby's piano and vocals woven into the familiar glossy textures that made his name.
		'Halcyon Days' sees Hornsby return to his piano, almost absent from his previous release 2002's 'Big Swing Face', and create an album of mixed genres, from dixieland style jazz to slow, introspective numbers.

		The real stars of ‘The Good Old Days’ were the audience, who came in free as long as they were dressed in Victorian or Edwardian style - with lavish hats and shawls for women, bowler hatted men or younger men kitted-out in military style.
