Mad Dogs and Englishmen
Joe Cocker
This was one of the first LP's, I ever owned...
It featured some of the best music I had ever heard,
with some fabulously great musicians!
Joe Cocker's voice and energy just blew me away!
I am saddened to hear of his passing...
He was such an influence on me,
as a kid with dreams of becoming a singer myself...
This is one of my favorite songs of his:
"Cry Me A River"

On Washi Postcard
Today was our "New Year Card" Etegami session...
I chose the graceful and sweetly- scented Suisen, or Narcissus flower,
as my subject.
Since photographing them last week for my sister's card,
I've been somewhat besotted by their essence...
My kanji-character, "Heiwa" is my wish for 2015- Peace...
After, we had lunch and a birthday cake for one of our members, Shindo-san,
whose birthday was yesterday...
Next week, the last Ikebana session, for this year...

My Etegami session, was yesterday...
There were many subject choices, but the quince caught my attention...
It was my first time to see/smell/touch a Japanese quince...
It has a clean, citrus-y fragrance, and is oily to the touch...
Next week, we will meet for one more painting event;
a special New Year's Card session.
