These are some photos that I've made...
One of my favorite U2 songs ever since I heard it as part of a soundtrack to 21 Jump Street, way back...then.
If you could choose any singer to sing at your wedding (past or future), who would you choose?

Because she could, and did, do it all.
Speaking of Sarah, I got this Jazz Icons DVD of her for Christmas. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, mostly because I was spending my spare time catching up on the Mad Men episodes that I had missed, and re-watching some of the ones I had seen, thanks to my brother Dick, who had copies of them all. Since I gave those back the other night, and since it is going to be NO degrees here this weekend, I plan on enjoying Sarah and the Oscar Wilde biography I'm reading. Not at the same time.
Video: Show us a video that makes you want to dance.
If anyone can tell me what this song is saying in between "Cat. I'm a kitty cat. And I dance, dance, dance, and I dance, dance, dance." I'd like to know what it is. The singing part. Thanks to Brit for telling me about this.
Show us your favorite album cover.
Since I don't really have a favorite album cover, I thought I would narrow this down to "what is my favorite album cover that I shot." And maybe it is this one, mainly because it is in true black and white, and the art director didn't colorize it for once. And it was a fairly fun gig to shoot.
Or maybe this one. For the same reasons.

I read. I browse, I buy, I read, I sometimes sell, I have scouted for other people. I read, I have occasionally reviewed, I research, and sometimes, if a book is particularly old, or simply well-made, I will lift it to my nose and and breathe it in. Some people love the new car smell. I love the book smell.
I read by author, or genre, or whatever is available at the time. This year I have read an avalanche of mysteries and crime books- all of the Carol O'Connell books, many Rex Stout books, some Dick Francis books, many many "cozies," and I have just read a few of the Lincoln Rhyme books by Jeffrey Deaver, which I like alot.
Yesterday I read Sue Monk Kidd's "The Mermaid Chair," which I liked, although I found it oddly incomplete in a certain sense, regarding one of the primary relationships.
And other times I love to read biographies, and poetry, and books on music and photography. History, culture, and for God's sake, let us not forget the cookbooks. I love cookbooks.
Reading for me is much the same as coffee. Although I love a fresh, delicious cup of well made coffee, I would rather have a bad cup than none at all.
Jazz Pianist Oscar Peterson is reported to have died Sunday at his home outside Toronto, with his family present.
His spirit, fingers, and talent will be missed. Jazzhouse.org will probably have an obit posted in the next day or so in "The Last Post."
"A jazz player is an instant composer," Peterson once said in a CBC interview, while conceding jazz did not have the mass appeal of other musical genres. "You have to think about it, it's an intellectual form," he said."
Another arrangement of one of my all time favorite Leonard Cohen songs.
