DRIVE AND DRAW!

Hey, sometimes you own the road, sometimes it owns you, or your schedule does.  I don't do a lot of the crazy driving schedule stuff these days, but sometimes...  Friday morning, up at four, do some yoga, do some meditating, do some GOOD COFFEE (Got those fresh Uganda beans from The Wise Bean [http://wisebean.biz/] here in Bethlehem, and will run some through my little Aeropress coffee press... and then head out before dawn, hoping to beat the JUGGERNAUT of I-78 East, I-287 NORTH/TAPPANZEE BRIDGE (either way) at RUSH HOUR... It's not if but where I'll get to sit and be philosophical... why oh why no good tunes for the ride/sit/ride...???  Crazy Merritt Parkway in CT, can't wait!

11:30 to 5:30 gig in Mystic, CT... I can't wait to see what sort of educators we get!  The last one, in SOmmerville NJ was a HOOT!  Could it have had to do with the alcohol?  Naaaw!

Testing, testing... If caricaturing is drawing, then why a blog?

Because just like songwriters often will talk before or after they sing a song, there's more going on than meets the eye!  And sometimes there are beautiful moments that happen, that can't be anticipated or duplicated, and are so worth sharing!

I've been drawing caricatures in various forms, in various venues, since the 1970s... and only certain that I will have a totally unexpectedly pleasant experience with one or another very unusual guest!  It is such a delight, to find this happens again and again!
