    Southwest Seekers Series of Digital Paintings

    Then I Saw Her Face Digital Painting, May 2007 29 in h by about 28.5 in w Click here for all posts belonging to the “Southwest Seekers” series of digital paintings. Detail. The title is of course drawn from the song, “Now I’m a believer”, keeping with the UFO museum’s theme of “The Truth is…

  • 'Tis the Season for Festivals

    ‘Tis the Season for Festivals. H.o.p. missed music at the Dogwood Festival a couple weekends ago as the weather was nasty, but he had fun playing around on the kiddo installations. Made up for it today with an earful at the Inman Park Festival. Saw Gwen Hughes and the Swimming Pool Q’s and some of…

  • An awful mess

    Good griefinicious, there lies my brain, on the floor, all drippy puddled and entreating me to try to mold it so it has some measure of coherence again. But it ain’t happening. When I nudge it, all I’m getting are little burps of H.o.p.’s computer game music. Oops, now it spits out anxious images of…

  • H.o.p. asks "What's your most embarrassing moment"

    H.o.p. is wanting to know things like “What’s your most embarrassing moment” and by this he means two or three dozen. As my whole life is an embarrassment I was unable to make a selection. But the co-adult is less tragic and does have a segment that he has always related as “most embarrassing”. He…

  • The music for the day was Arvo Part’s "Miserere"

    For a few minutes yesterday AM H.o.p. woke up saying he was sick, something about his chest hurting etc. and fell back to sleep. Marty was worried. But on Saturday at acting class the regular teacher wasn’t there as she was sick and I’ve heard a lot about “sick” going around and I figured that…

  • Don't know why I'm reminded of Alice's puzzling over which side of the mushroom to eat

    I don’t know why, when trying to think of how to describe Sondra Prill, Alice puzzling over which side of the mushroom to eat comes to mind. Maybe it’s the uncertainty of whether fate will take you to the home for which you long or drop you in disaster’s lap. Came upon the below at…

  • What’s your favorite Bach Passacaglia in C Minor (serious, looking for good one)

    I’m looking for a good version of Bach’s Passacaglia in C Minor. One with drama and nice flavoring. I’m only coming up with lifeless versions, and this should be a powerful piece. Any suggestions? Hope so.

  • Listening to Tuva overtone music

    We had the pleasure of learning a little about Tuvan overtone music (throat music) today. Was showing H.o.p. a little video on different types of music, the what of music place to place, and they focused some on Tuvan throat singers. So we’ve been listening to a few files online and now I’m watching this…

  • Pretty good memorizing and drawing of skulls

    Smithsonian can be a great place to visit online with H.o.p., so Friday after a difficult time with math we went to Campfire Stores with George Catlin. H.o.p. liked Peter Matthiesson’s introduction and wanted to listen to it several times, and at his request we listened several times to Peter Nabakov talking about Sacred Geography…

  • Bob Dylan "With God on Our Side" 1964

    This one always has me near tears. My 4th of July post. And yes, this year we’re going to watch fireworks with family. Because kids love fireworks.

  • If you’re feeling whimsical, Tubby the Tuba

    Audio link is gone so am placing the Pal instead, now online. We used to have a trash copy of Pal’s Tubby I was able to tape off some program years ago, but can’t find it anymore. I went looking online today as H.o.p. was asking about it and found the audio, which H.o.p. also…

  • Would Juliette of the Spirits have turned down a sangria mixed up by Andrea Bocelli?

    Another pledge drive by PBS and tonight it’s the program, “Andrea Bocelli, Amore, Under the Desert Sky”. I suffered through listening to their presentation of “Great Performances: South Pacific” the other night because because we don’t have cable so I don’t know what’s on other television but if we have the television on and a…
