Crossing the Bridge

Hi Everyone! Merry Christmas eve to all. I've linked Beethoven - Vladimir Ashkenazy - Symphony No.9 Mvt.4 to this blog, since Beethoven is one of my favorite composers. I played at the Barrel in Burien with Doug McGrew, Tim Turner, Nelson, and Billy on Tuesday. It was a fun gig. I'm playing tonight with Tim Turner at the Wild Vine in Bothell. I painted this watercolor last night of the bridge over the river for my sister, Kristie's birthday which is December 27th. She always complained of getting less presents due her birthday being so close to Christmas. Wah! I'm getting geared up to churn out some larger paintings next week and to finally getting my studio organized and set up. I hope Santa is good to everyone! Have a nice day! xxoo


Crossing the Bridge
Crossing the bridge
Over the murky river
Contemplating
That which waits
On the other side
At least I have the key within
To make sure it is an easy ride

Furry Creature

Howdy! Well, I had a really busy teaching day yesterday from 1 pm to 7 pm, and then I played a gig at the Wild Vine starting at 8 pm with Tim Turner. It was a lot of fun, and my bff Cindi and her daughter Cristie came to the show. I taught some lessons today, and then my wonderful son and I worked on some projects. I have a song that I sing at some of my gigs linked to this posting: Tom Petty - 'Free Fallin'. Nighty night! xxooo

Furry Creature
Furry creature
Disguised as a puritanical preacher
Teaching me
In oh so unsubtle ways
How not to pray
Furry creature
Flying through my ghost town
Will you ever utter
Anything profound?

Tangy Toodles

Hi everyone! I finally got some rest today, yeah! It was a bit antihistamine inspired, but hey, I should be back to normal in a couple of days. Friday night's gig with Tim Turner at the Wild Vine was fun even though I was totally out of it. I just have to muster up enough energy to make it through my gig tonight at the Lighthouse in Des Moines with Tim Turner and Billy Spaulding. I enjoyed watching two of the previously recorded Project Runway episodes last night, since I play a gig on Thursday nights when the show is aired. It is sunny in Seattle, so I'm going to take a walk today! Have a nice day! xxoo

Tangy Toodles
Tangy toodles
Disappearing quickly
Like noodles coated in Undo soup
An interpreter of mysteries
Handcuffs himself
To media bent truths
Emancipation is desired
Maybe only occurring
Beneath elaborate typography
Engraved on a rose colored marble headstone
