Thanksgiving 2015

My favorite song 2 months of every year. Love to play George Winston's "Thanksgiving" - hope you enjoy! A song that speaks to my soul. Accompanied by some pics, sayings and memories of 2015.

When I'm 64!

Beatles Ragtime! This was my theme song for September - my birthday month! "When I'm 64" - it's getting closer!

The Long and Winding Road

If It's Magic

This is one of my favorite songs and is written by Stevie Wonder.  The pictures are of my orchids and my garden, two of my loves.

Stand By Me

Music can heal the soul - this song picked up my spirits tonight.

Been wanting and thinking I should play for a week but couldn't.

Tonight was the night!  Cool!  Was about time!

Song For The Asking

Gnossienne by Eric Satie

This is a tune I learned this Spring with a few other slower songs.  Usually learn this style of song in the Fall or Winter but this year for some reason heard this song and loved it and had to play it.  Piano is not in the best of tune but hope you enjoy anyway.  daMon

My Garden in June 2015

Camille and Uncle Mony

Spent the morning with my great niece Camille a week ago. It was too
cool and she was wonderful to spend some time with. She is 11 months
old and loves iPhones already. She also is a little unsure of her Uncle
Mony.

Camille crawl walk

She is not walking on her feet yet but moving around well - on her knees at an amazing speed.

Daylilies in my garden in the beginning of June!

I cleaned up the ivy next to the street.

Trimmed my privet - we'll see how it does this summer.

Pot of impatiens from Jacks yard that volunteered.

One of my favorite hostas - love the yellow color.

This is my greenhouse / hothouse in the winter and my art room in the summer.  Will have time to paint this summer - can't wait!

Dance first. Think later. It's the natural order. (Samuel Beckett) My first summer at home in 10 years has started with a bang. Went to the Jazz Festival and saw Diane Schuur. She was amazing and I really loved her. Was surprised but kept hearing some of my own piano style in her playing. Cool!

Planted tomato's for the first time in 10 years - gonna be home ya' know!

Saturday, May 9th I went to Ryan's home (my nephew) and saw Nancy and Camille, my sister and great-neice. We had a great time.

May 8th went with Jack to see Pippin! Musical Directed and Played Keys for this show last summer for 6 weeks. This was my first time to see it performed - What a cool crazy show!

Family visits Atlanta for an evening!

Then later in the evening on May 7th my Mom and three sisters came to town and I went to see them at Ryan and Jessica's home in East Atlanta.

Jack's Birthday!

May 7th spent the first half of the evening celebrating Jack's birthday with Pam and Mandy in Tucker at the Local 7!

March 24 at 10:48pm · My dad passed away at the ripe age of 94. He had a great life, was loved and will be missed by many. These are pictures of him through the years. '

Spring

My garden quickly came alive this Spring! It decided to give my Cym Orchids in my bungalow some competition!

A few recordings of mine.  First is Fats Waller's "Ain't Misbehavin'".
Then I play two Beatles tunes - "Yesterday" and "With A Little Help From My Friends".

Life is a work of Art

Great way to start the New Year - 2015.  Took a new friend to Mike's 31st New Years Day Party and ran into friends I hadn't seen in years.  Saw Tyburski too but no pic - he was moving too fast with a new hip.
