Love your camelid pics. SJI really is a kind of microcosmic wonderland, enit? Listening to your music this morning, JUST CALL @ 2:14, gave just the right dosage of perk and jazz to my very sunny start on this June day. American Lake is aglow and Mt. Rainier is greeting all who would stare her direction. [My wife has informed me that mountains are She, like boats, ships, cars, trucks, and heavy equipment.] The tone of the tune made me think of a film I screened this weekend for our movie club here in Tacoma, Alan Rudolph's CHOOSE ME. It had a jazz score, and was a throwback to film noir, and had a lot of Robert Altman long takes and overlapping plot. Your music is so full of imagery, that it often usurps just the mood it evokes. My retirement happens in 2.5 weeks and I am giddy as a little girl about it. And good morning to you, Alex. Love your camelid pics. SJI really is a kind of microcosmic wonderland, enit?
