Something for Thursday
I’m not usually one to play the “Ahhh, they don’t sing ’em like that anymore!” card, but…no, they don’t sing ’em like that anymore! Which isn’t a bad thing, because there is always great music in the offing. But still, I wonder what it … Continue reading
Tone Poem Tuesday
Ugh! ‘Twas a crazy day at work and a busy evening at home, so I almost forgot entirely about getting this week’s selection posted. In fact, I’m not even posting this week’s selection; I’m saving it for next week. Meanwhile, … Continue reading

Tone Poem Tuesday

“So much of what we do is ephemeral and quickly forgotten, even by ourselves, so it’s gratifying to have something you have done linger in people’s memories.” — John Williams
John Williams was born ninety years ago today. I’ve written many times in the years I’ve been blogging about John Williams’s influence on my creative world. He has been a central figure in the cinematic stories that shaped my life … Continue reading
And now, four animals.
I got nothin’ else today, so here are two dogs… …and two cats. Have a great night, y’all!

And now, a lamp-post
It seems an odd visual to like, but I’m always fascinated by light poles in parking lots, especially when there’s weather. This human-made object stands there, adding unnatural light to a scene while nature does its thing all around. The … Continue reading
