catch up, cats and kittens

When a rattle of rats had awoken, 
The sinews, the nerves and the veins. 
My piano was boldly outspoken, in attempts to repeat its refrain. 

I have been too busy to do much writing the last week or so... I really want to focus on doing more art work this fall/winter as well.. I have a series of collages that I have been building for a few months... I want to rally a few more this fall and do an opening by the time the snow flies... i have a place in mind already. the other 3 shows are still going on... you can stop by any of these locations to take in some art, get a haircut, a cup of coffee or a stiff drink... hey... maybe you could make a day of it. and hit all 3. ha.

Monday night I covered the show at The Dakota for work... It was probably the 6th time I have seen Doc Severinsen... this was my favorite. I love people with a story... and perspective... he has both... here's more about that if you want to read it: http://whyharrelson.weebly.com/5/post/2013/09/these-precious-days-ill-spend-with-you.html

When I was doing the write up I found this video clip... I'd never seen it before... but I do know the song... it's one my grandmother used to sing to me in the car... but I always thought she made it up... until about a year ago... "First you say you will, and then you won't, first you say you do, and then you don't, you're undecided now... so what are you gonn-nnnn-aaa do" - she would've loved the show Monday. 

I have taken on more projects than I probably should... but right now I am loving being busy... and loving not knowing exactly how my work, my art and my music are all going to fit together in my life.... 

One more thing... for Christmas last year I bought my dad a flying lesson. Well, he just now had a chance to use it... so he and I went together and they guys at the flight school let me ride along too. It was really beautiful... I never tire of being up in the clouds... and my dad seemed to really have a fun time... 

And... last but not least... there is an Opening for my show at Palmers this Saturday 6:30-9:30... Stop by and say hello.

and of course... red shoes... but that isn't anything new...
