Preparing canvases and finishing several pieces in progress:


Continuing to digitize LPs; Looking at The Temptations' Greatest Hits -  8 of the songs on this album were written all, or in part by one William "Smokey" Robinson...no wonder he is so rich, when you add all he has written for others to his own portfolio, performances, etc. Also noted the the label for this disc displays Temptation's (sic) Greatest Hits.

Yesterday I recorded one of my all-time favorites - Steely Dan's Gaucho. More today, a double album: jazz's Zoot (John Haley) Sims/Sonny Stitt. Zoot only lived to be 59;  short life. 


Stitt      Sims

And, Supertramp's double live album Paris. Think about this - "This tour has been a hard one - 108 shows so far." Yikes.  They noted that the first time in Paris they performed at "the tiny Bataclan Theatre". We know how infamous that venue would become thanks to ISIS.



I'll finish up. Will try to complete a couple, start a few, and get outside to sketch or maybe even paint on site. 

Remember to visit my web page where, if you find a piece you would like to own, contact me to see if it is still available and we'll discuss price, and shipping and handling. Most are $150 or less.
