Discovery

August 26, 2007

My addiction (everyone's addiction) to Planet Earth. Watch it once and become mesmerized. Polar bears, leopard seals, ice caps, Empire penguins regurgitating fish. A beautiful world. Hey, it's a natural thing and we as a human population seem to have done everything in our power to eliminate anything natural -- I just saw a piece on Sunday Morning that we are perhaps even trading sex for more work. No surprise. We're idiots. Damned fool idiots.

Yes, it is long and, yes, it is maddening. But if you give a damn about the future of your family, your security, yourself and even your money, you must watch.

Elder Street Art Night

July 23, 2007

I just took a look at my account on Google video, which should have about 12 videos uploaded and there is NOTHING. How bizarre, especially because the videos still play on this site. Ghosts in the machine. Again.

The Elder Street Art Show was last Saturday night, 41 artists displaying one art work apiece, and all their attendant kin, friends, collectors and party-going mates. It was a blast, even if it was a slight bit hot that evening. But everyone who I know who could come did come. It was a gathering to be remembered.

I got in a little late that evening and didn't get to sleep til around 2am, but it was worth it. Thanks to everyone involved, you all made it a great event.

Ragtime Jazz and Big Band

June 28, 2007

Such a night.  I finally got a free evening to attend a concert'ette at the Cosmos . A friend's mom has been singing there for a few weeks with The Over-the-Hill Gang and I just had to make the gig. I was so glad I did.

Walking in, I really thought a tour bus of the "Gray Line" had just let off a group of passengers - I have not seen so many walkers outside a nursing home. I was stared at in my capri jeans, baby t-shirt and high heeled sandals, but I sidled up to the bar to get comfortable and wait for Mike to arrive.

I realized soon that the old guy sitting next to me had probably been drinking since about noon. I knew the exact moments he would be looking in my direction (I was at about a three-quarter turn from him so he wouldn't talk to me too much) because I could smell the rank of alcohol strongly enough to catch a buzz from it.

Mike and his mom finally arrived. She sang years ago with Dean Martin and her voice is still strong. She gives voice lessons; I'm going to give her a ring to see if I could take a couple of them.

The Over-the-Hill Gang. WHAT A GROUP OF LOVELY GUYS!!! Ranging in age from just under 70 to 96 (the Banjo-player) they were gentlement, fine musicians and fun folk. Curly on the drums had just cut his long locks off in favor of a summer style, Mike from England was on the piano, Harold seemed to be the band leader with his clarinet. There was a trumpet player, a trombone player, and a bass guitar man. They played Dixie Land jazz, Big Band and old torch song hits from back in the day.

Mike's mom sang Bill Bailey (won't you come home) and he sang Don't Get Around Much Anymore. They both have such nices voices.

I was quite impressed. Needless to say, I will be back for more.
