Just Grand!!

Hello All!!

My feet are back on terra firma! I had an amazing trip aboard the Grand Princess!! The English Bulldog (pictured above) was one of my favorite pieces in the show. Since the Grand left out of England, I made sure to include some amazing icons of London like the Double Decker Bus and the famous red Telephone Booth!

Shout out to all my new friends, and old!! Shout out to my artist friends, too...Pierre, Des, and Martiros!! It was my pleasure to meet each and every one of you! We had some spectacular days together that will forever be in my memory! Thank you for your generosity and company!! I will always order a "whole jug" of wine with every pizza I eat and I promise to tell you if I come across a better peach sorbet, somewhere in the world, but I highly doubt it!!

I hope you will check back with me often to keep in touch and continue to follow my art!

That Will Be The Day

Happy Birthday to the late, great Buddy Holly! He would have been 75 years old today. Buddy Holly influenced so many in the Rock n' Roll genre and the music really does tell a story. Growing up I loved the music of Buddy Holly, and many of the bands I listened to covered some of his famous songs. Dion, of Dion and the Belmonts (and his wonderful family) moved in next door to me when I was twelve. You know how cool it was to have a ROCK STAR next door to me??!! He was a close friend of Buddy's and recently tells a very compelling story of that fateful night in February, 1959 in his new book Dion: The Wanderer Talks the Truth. So bye, bye, American Pie...
