Weird Cultural Vibes

THIS COLD WEATHER has me about nuts. I can't stand brutal cold weather. I feel like I am in the tundra land of Leo Tolstoy. Please  bring us some warmth. Thinking about being in the Bahamas...that'll help me right now.  Oh, Yes...absolutely.

2014 Award Season

HUGE FUN TIME going on now for the annual exciting awards season for grand movies. I love all the wild Red Carpet stuff and also the famous folks. I especially like the attention that Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and the 'American Hustle' folks are getting.

The Good Man: Bradley Cooper

INDEED, BRADLEY COOPER radiates kindness. The interesting aspect of Mr. Cooper's style remains the elusive but poignant essence of vivid kindness that characterizes his acting. His joy for others (look how kind he was to Leo D. at the Globes) generates so much warmth and surely makes audiences love him so much. I have the utmost respect for Mr. Bradley Cooper, a gentleman with a superb sense of style.

C. Pissarro---elegance in art

CAMILLE PISSARRO is a French artist I very much love. His works are so delicate and intensely elegant. There is a robust quality about his concepts even when he swiftly delves into the darker shades.

Help us with Jan.

THIS WEATHER....BRRRRR.  Let's hope and pray this weather eases up...It's hard to think about art and films and music when one is uncomfortable.  Let's hope for Jan. help...Listen to B.B. King that will get us psyched up ...strong guitar.

Good Saxophone Guys

BEN WEBSTER AND JOHNNY HODGES:  These two men are I believe joyful fine men of the saxophone. Hodges (on alto) and Webster (on tenor) have beautiful tones. They make the jazz from their horns really soar. Enjoy Webster and Hodges! They are indeed two musical all-stars.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
