Epiphany is an “Aha!” moment. As a literary device, epiphany (pronounced ih-pif–uh-nee) is the moment when a character is suddenly struck with a life-changing realization which changes the rest of the story.
Epiphany is also known as 3 Kings Day …
It’s traditional to eat a special cake called ‘Rosca de Reyes’ (Three Kings Cake). A figure of Baby Jesus is hidden inside the cake. Whoever has the baby Jesus in their piece of cake is the ‘Godparent’ of Jesus for that year. Epiphany, the Feast of The Three Kings – WhyChristmas.com

Brooke : “I provided technical consultation for my friend Mott who created this cape she presented to Bootsy Collins in Austin, which he Graciously Thanked her for Publicly, shown here,preceding Blackbyrd McKnight’s rendition of a Hendrixified Star Spangled Banner.”
When Austin Concerts Examiner heard funk’s founding bassist, William “Bootsy” Collins had been booked to play ACL Live a couple months ago,we were astounded. After wondering aloud how long it had been since Bootzilla had headlined a tour we found out it was 16 years ago. Watching Collins and his all-star crew of players (there were 15 of them) having what looked like the time of their life on stage Sunday evening was priceless.Bootsy wore multiple costumes throughout an extended, three-hour set. The leader of the Funk U-Nity World Tour landed the mothership of funk smack in the middle of downtown Austin and he was not in any hurry to move onto the next stop.Maybe it was the homemade cape a fan gave him or the crowd chanting “Bootsy, Bootsy” before he took the stage, but the man who put the funk in the bass wanted to hang around ATX as long as possible it seemed.
The lineup looked like a future Rock n Roll Hall of Fame inductee class. The legendary keyboardist, Bernie Worrel (Parliament Funkadelic, Talking Heads) was there. So was guitarist Blackbyrd McKnight (Parliament, The Headhunters) and Collins himself, who played with James Brown and Parliament establishing a bass standard for funk music. He even teaches an online course for advanced players.
Parliament Funkadelic inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of fame! Excellent live jam with Bootsy Collins, George Clinton, Bernie Worrell, Billy Bass, Ray Davies…
