Today is my birthday (born 1945), without knowing that kindly blues harp player Gernot added his harp again to one of my guitar tracks – a wonderful gift, I hope you like it too…
about my little guitar tribute to Подмосковные вечера (Moscow Nights) – there was a remake by Kenny Ball in the sixties too as “Midnight in Moscow” – I got an e-mail by Andrey Shilov: “This song is known in the West under the name MOSCOW NIGHTS, though in Russian it is not Moscow… Its title is “Подмосковные вечера” what means EVENINGS IN THE MOSCOW SUBURBS…”
P.S.:
I’ve never been in Moscow, but I feel today like a cat in a winter palace / Palais d’Hiver = Зимний дворец :
Actually I’m drawing my personal sketchbook for my grandchildren… – click on the picture to enter my flickr galleries

today is my birthday, I was born 1945. So many things happened since then. For example in the fifties in my hometown: a little elephant, his name was Tuffi, fell out of the monorail down into the water… he stayed unhurt, firemen pulled him out of the water; I heard he later was sold to a circus in France, at last he died after eating a little bottom of French perfume in a Zoo…

einmal kaufte ich auf einem Bauernmarkt drei lebendige Hühner und wollte sie in unserem Haus leben lassen, so wie ich es als Kind bei Bauern gesehen hatte. Meine Frau aber ließ mich mit den drei Hühnern nicht in unsere Stadt-Wohnung hinein. So musste ich den Traum vom morgendlich warmen Frühstücksei begraben. Gottseidank darf ich wenigstens eine Katze halten…

a great intro, Lisa: “Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer, and clearer still. The image is passing through you in a physiological way, into your brain, into your memory – where it stays – it’s transmitted by your hands.”
― Martin Gayford, A Bigger Message: Conversations with David Hockney

you are serving a fine motivation, Lisa, to continue my little project to make a sketchbook for my grandchildren – not easy for me, because I am not an artist like you (or Albrecht Dürer)

Happy happy birthday to you! I know it’s been a long, eventful life, and I thought it was amusing that you chose to share the elephant story – a very wacky one! In a way maybe it shows how your life has been filled with such different, unimaginable events. I like the sketches, too – love the cat, with its strange expression and the textured snow – that one is great!
