#RIP Greg Brown.

Once upon a time, I worked the weekend graveyard shift at a convenience store so I could catch up on some bills. I would record Night Flight on my trusty VCR, then watch it when I got home to let the necessary caffeine buzz due down a little before I went to bed. This is the first time I had heard of Cake. I just read that Greg Brown has passed away after a brief illness.

Pastel drawing underway in a, perhaps, Surrealist style. On gray canson paper, chairs attend a table with orbs/blobs on a checkered tablecloth. Working out the portals.

I finally started leaving my house, and met up with some artists, and maybe have a gallery. At the coffee place, current and retired teachers, and artists meet and talk. I started this piece the other day, there, on a gifted piece of paper, I worked on it there, again today. There were several artists at work, here and there, around the place. I Got News For You, will be the name of the piece, when it is finished.

I am not wearing this hat downtown today, or any other. 2002 SLC Olympics hat, with Mormon Funeral Potatoes Olympic pin, 9/11 Pin, German American Friendship Pin, Intermountain Healthcare Olympic Provider Pin.

But my spouse has encouraged me to engage more than usual.
So, story time:
My wife started her film career with the two guys in the middle (Fred and Jim) on a low-budget horror flick called “Fear No Evil”. They called it Fear No Paycheck. Fred and Jim collaborated around thirty years ago on a documentary about the subway system of Rochester, NY called “The End of the Line”. COVID lockdown inspired them to re-edit their creation with newer digital equipment. Our local art house cinema has three sold out showings this week with more being scheduled for March. Add to this that it was nearly below zero F at the time of the showing tonight. I desperately wanted to be in bed with a book tonight. But this was worth it. Train people geeking out, old friends reconnecting, the joys of discovery and rediscovery all around us.

I scored a bunch of vintage postcards this past week (you can view them here if you want https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjCJJSX ) and naturally I decided that a Then & Now was on the cards.

I wasn't sure this one would work, as in would these buildings still be there. But this being England the odds are good and there ya go. Stanway Rd, Stanton, Broadway.

Possibly one of the nicest villages I've ever visited on Google maps lol. Exact location below
