A hand rubbed finish, a la Sam Maloof, and the piece is now residing in
its designated home.
As color blind as I am, I could still appreciate the gorgeous complement
of the hand rubbed walnut to the old leather couch ... a "rich' look,
indeed. Wished I had something besides a DroidX POS camera, you really
need to be there.

If they stink, they're probably only 2/3s of a pun.

HOLY...
SMOKE!
Whoa.... I liked the mosaic work before, but that frame around it now
makes it just jump out. I think it is a hard task to make a piece
like that look classy as the mosaic patterns can go so terribly wrong
sometimes.
Not there. Your frame was the perfect compliment; its exacting
tolerances and hand applied finish really make the whole piece come
together. What a great job.
Nice.

That's too bad. Early on, they were technically fabulous and
extremely versatile. Try a listen to the early albums, such as "This
Was" and "Stand Up". Amazon is a good source for 30-second samples.
I think "Passion Play" was their last good album, but they continued
on with a dozen more. Fame killed them for me, because they kept on
adjusting to what played on the Top 40. Ick!
But I like some Goodman/Miller/Dorsey swing, too, but the loud
trumpets blew me out. Swing was Mom's thing (along with Como and
Snotra ;)
Instrumentals are my main thing, though. Music -needs- no words.

Och! You should have bought a better turntable with a lighter
cartridge. Mine only went flat (wiped the undulations off the groove
so it was one straight groove on each side.) not through.

Sun streaking cold
an old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
the only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
as he bends to pick a dog-end
he goes down to the bog
and warms his feet.

Thanks, Robert ... I enjoyed working with the other folks on that

Between early Cornick and then Hammond, Jethro Tull had some superb
bass players. You'd approve.
I like Jethro Tull almost as much as 10cc, which is still my 'go-to'
music when life's bullshit tries to get me down. The early 70's were
so rich in musical terms that I had dozens of favourite bands...
My top 20 favourites are all number one depending on my needs at the
time.
One song which will ALWAYS put a smile on y face is Moody Blues'
Floating:
"Floating free as a bird
Sixty foot leaps it's so absurd
From up here you should see the view
Such a lot of space for me and you"
A doobie helps that a lot......or so I'm told.

Lithium wouldn't reduce the hallucinogenic component of Absinthe, the
elixir that many scholars believe caused Van Gogh to see the swirls
evident in many of his paintings.
Hallucinations AND enormous amounts of gas are both a side effects of
absinthe. The gas often so bad that one can be mistaken for a loud
motorcycle. Hence:
Absinthe makes the farts go honda.
