A couple cover variations for Lovie Austin and Alb

A couple cover variations for Lovie Austin and Alberta Hunter’s 1923 “Downhearted Blues”. Lovie was such a great piano player that I have some practicing to do before I can play any of her actual solos! Final photo of Lovie and Alberta in 1961 from syncopatedtimes.com.

PRESS UPDATE: today I started sanding LEVEL II DIFFICULTY areas for painting. I am covered in a probably-toxic dust, but I think we’re past halfway done.

Recently dug up this shadow box from 2019 I thought I’d lost– letterpress, fringe, and painted glass. Art made mostly for fun!

A windy farewell to a magical snow week with Jimmy

A windy farewell to a magical snow week with Jimmy McHugh, Dorothy Fields, and Arnold Johnson’s 1932 “Goodbye Blues”. I don’t know nearly enough guitar chords to convey The Mills Brothers’ master harmonies, so if you like the tune, let that be your next stop!

Last one before the snow melts! I THINK it’s about to melt anyways? I did not have time to find a country music costume because I wanted to run and catch the snow slowly fallin outside.

Surrounded by cool water yet again! Is this the wonderland that cowboy and Ol Dan dreamed of in the song??

I haven’t got to dress up and sing country songs

I haven’t got to dress up and sing country songs for people in a year, and there’s actually snow on the ground in Tennessee, SO here’s a temperature-appropriate Hank number.

Andy Razaf and Paul Denniker’s 1929 “S’posin

Andy Razaf and Paul Denniker’s 1929 “S’posin’” this Valentine’s #sheetmusicsunday . If you’ve ever heard a Fats Waller hit, you’ve probably heard a Razaf lyric–

“S’posin’ I should say ‘For you I yearn,’
Would you think I’m speaking out of turn?
And s’posin’ I’d declare it
Would you take my love and share it?
I’m not s’posin’, I’m in love with you”

With the help of some friends much smarter than I, a bit of grease, and a thermal protection reset, I got to see my press motor run for the VERY FIRST TIME 😍
