THE NEW ALBUM
Stephen McCraven & Family: “Killing Us Hardly”
With the album “Killing Us Hardly”, Stephen McCraven offers up his new artistic commitment. A treasure chest rich with his own life experience, this new recording perpetuates the ritual, passing on the eternal flame held high by such masters as Archie Shepp, Sam Rivers, Miles Davis or Marion Brown, Jimi Hendrix, and James Brown. As many as thirty musicians gathered around Steve’s vision, the need to connect with his blood family, his heart family and his family of music to engender the notion of “Clan” roaring through the twelve pieces on this recording. Killing Us Hardly is an adventure in sound that could be compared to a psychedelic fresco of the history of the relentless struggle by artists of every century to show us a better world, despite prevalent cynicism and negativity.

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.
