about

Mary Mackinnon was a fan and supporter of The Band Whose Name Is A Symbol. She was DEEP into all genres of excellent music and loved to be challenged. Everyone adored Mary. She lost a 4 year battle with Kidney Cancer earlier this year. When Jason and Bijon at her request went to visit her during her very last stay in the hospital, she informed them at that time, that she wanted The Band Whose
Name Is a Symbol and Crab Boat to both perform at her "Remembrance of Life" Celebration. Her specific request was for TBWNIS to play "Creator Has A Master Plan" by Pharoah Sanders. Some of us had the orig. record so we sat in Birdman Sound just prior to xmas last year and listened to it. The recording on this
record is literally our first attempt and fully improvised with zero overdubs. We lucked out. Subsequently we are now occasionally incorporating the piece into the odd set, despite the sadness we all feel whenever we play it. "Hepsibah" is a one off improv from either the week before or the night of, when we recorded "Creator...". Hepsibah as a name for girls and is of Hebrew derivation.The name Hepsibah means "my delight is in her". Mary was not Hebrew but it's meaning is what we understood and felt for her. TBWNIS feel all people, no matter of race, creed or color matter! Crab Boat's MRI contains Mary's actual "MRI" pulse within the music !
