Here is my version of a song by Bach
He talked the talk and he walked the walk
Some notes are flats, but there are sharps
And tubular bells and also harps

Analysis of The Virgin Mary with Saints Thomas Aquinas and Paul
by Bernardo Daddi, in Florence, Italy, 1335
It’s another painting with the Virgin Mary
And she’s with two Saints, and one is hairy
It’s done very well, this fact is true
And the Virgin Mary is wearing blue
Each of them have different poses
I wonder how they feel when the panel closes?
The Virgin Mary is looking down
And everyone’s skin is very brown
The atmosphere is very static
The scaling is definitely hieratic
The saints appear to be litigious
The theme of this painting is quite religious

When I was just a young pup, one of my siblings brought home this album. It was the only album recorded by this group, but some of the members went on to work with some of the biggest names in music.
(For those of you born after 1998, when I was a kid we had these things called “Albums.” They were black, circular, and much larger than CD’s. They had circular grooves in them that made music when you put them on a “turntable.”)
It was the second band to record using 16-track technology, the first being Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bookends” (another amazing album).
It has been categorized as “Sunshine Pop” but I think it is in its own category. I have never heard anything quite like it, and I still love it. Maybe you will too.
Here are two versions of “Fanfare for The Common Man” by Aaron Copland.
I don’t think you have ever heard anything quite like it. (I know I haven’t.)
And here is a version by Emerson, Lake and Palmer that I am sure you’re gonna like!
I’m fixing a hole
In the shoes that I wear
To keep the rain from my socks
If we had some
I’m petting a cat
Who is again on my lap
And he can’t stop himself from purring
Cause he’s a kitty cat
Perhaps I’ll stay home
And not worry about the rain
It hasn’t rained for 90 days anyway
But it still might…..
And here is a faster version:
Eleanor Winslow
Picks up the Dice
From the Table
Of the Local Casino
With her friend Dino
Look at her gambling
Throwing her pay
Down the drain
And she’s feeling
No pain
Some say she’s insane
All the unlucky gamblers
Where do they get their dough
All the unlucky gamblers
Why not just see a show
I see it every time in Vegas
I see it every time in Vegas
This video on the cutouts done by Henri Matisse is definitely worth the price of admission:
Do you know the name of this painting?
I will give you a hint
It was done by a Master Artist
Using a woodblock print
He changed his address 100 times
He was constantly on the move
He would fill each house with all of his drawings
And they would eventually have to move
I think that he is just fantastic
His work, it has no fear
To me it almost seems elastic
For more info click here:
It’s Hokusai’s “The Great Wave of Kanagawa”
I think that it’s just great
He lived in Japan in the Edo Period
Which ended in 1868
