ReplyDeleteI really like this. It's moody. It has a real 1950's flavor. It's the kind original piece my Aunt Sally would have had in her home. You would have to understand what that means to me. Sal & Sally. Sal died way too young. Both educators; Sally a woman who choose not to retire because education was so beloved. Both Sal & Sally appreciated and loved the creativity of exceptional talent. They had a peaceful demeanor and a logical, common sense foundation. They raised my cousins with this. Rich and Barbra became 2 highly talented musicians who have earned a tremendous amount of respect for their musical talent in the Bay area. Their mom & dad and parented them with love and life experience, which they and their children cherish the memories of Sal & Sally as blessed. The grandkids only know Sal through pictures and history Sally, Rich and Barbra told them. But they left their loved ones a wonderful legacy of love and love of creativity. Like I said this is the kind of original work I would have expected to see in my Aunt Sally’s home.
