A Lowdown Monday

​"Hazel" - mixed media on cradled wood, 8" x 8".  Ready to hang.  Available on Artfinder.


There was something wonderful in the cyber airwaves yesterday....social media filled with joyous wishes for Easter and Passover, spring, bunnies, fancy dresses and family gatherings.  A lovely, much needed visual feast of new life, celebration and togetherness.  My children are  all out of the house, and the grandkids are too many states away for egg hunts and baskets here at our house.  But the photos of others enjoying the playfulness of the day brought me joy.  Thanks, people of the world!

The grown folks here at my house went out for dinner at a local spot.  Ocean breezes, aided by fans with misters, kept the outdoor seating comfortable as a local musician sang, played harmonica and guitar and took us for a trip down musical memory lane.  Hubby and I compared lists of what bands and musicians we had seen live over our lifetimes.   His list was worlds different than mine - suburban white girl music vs urban black kid decades ago. Yet as we mentally flipped through the collection of record albums (yep, old school vinyl), there were a few duplicates.  Bob Scaggs for one.  I saw him in high school at Blossom Music Center in Cleveland.  And guess what?  He is still touring.  Check out his website here.

So let's start your week with a little groove music - how about some Lowdown?

You ain't got to be so bad, got to be so cold
This dog eat dog existence sure is getting old
Got to have a Jones for this
Jones for that
This runnin' with the Joneses, boy, just ain't where it's at, no, no

And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming. :)
