Be Kind To Hearts And Minds
Is working on my own photo and giving it some Priptona art treatment deemed an act of self-love? I dunno. But I felt the sentiment typographical curved banner above my head was needed. I kept trying to enhance the heart shape I made with the hands but nothing really seemed to work. My heart shape…
When The Other Side Of Midnight Calls, Remind Me It’s … Minds Music Monday
And seeing as it IS now long after the “other side of midnight” and there isn’t much need to remind me “I’m glad to be here” or that it’s Minds Music Monday then… Let us hark back to BEFORE midnight, when it was still Valentine’s Day. Jim mentioned in his post yesterday a few Simple…

Minds Music Monday – Waterfront
Just a couple of days ago, it was the anniversary of the release of Sparkle In The Rain. With that in mind, I decided to choose a track from the album for this week’s MMM. The dawn had broke as I awoke this morning. It’s sunny today. It has an effect. I want to be…

It’s their second night in Melbourne (having performed the previous night at the Latrobe University campus) and their fourth night on the Australian leg of the tour. It…
