Meet Mr. Darryl Cann

The City of Pittsburgh Roving Art Cart opened the season at the Highland Park Super Playground on June 16th. There was a puppet show and Mr. Cann’s Aunt Mary Lou Williams was being honored in the show so he came to participate. He plays five instruments I learned. And he told me he’s a retired Bellman of the historic and classic Omni William Penn Hotel downtown. Over the decades he met over 350 celebrities he said.

Here he is playing along with a recording of the famous George Benson. He gave us his gift of live music. Click to listen https://youtu.be/_yizufqbZ0Q?is=1WUC2GDWpnEuDTDk

You Get 200 Selections on this Machine- Vote Now!

This is from a friend’s birthday party last January.  A Juke Box not a voting machine.  Through the Years.

I thought some of the titles could  be put to good use after the election results are in. Seems everyone has lost their sense of humor these days. Friendships and families, relationships strained.  Every individual is pretty certain they are correct in their thinking and can’t fathom why anyone might feel totally opposite or even a few inches opposite.

 Help,  I’m Down, or Chances Are .  

and for some it will be Celebration and Big Girls Don’t Cry.

We’ll skip Stormy.

What about This Masquerade?

One thing I am sure of… no matter who wins…. we will be Shake Rattle and Roll into the new year no matter what.  Seriously.  I have heard people from both sides and (in- between) say they can’t wait until it is over.  The ads on TV and all. The robo-calls. The hype. The Self-Applause.  The millions spent. Billions. Could have been put to good use in school libraries. Well, the schools that still have libraries and full time librarians.

What’s going to happen?  What will become of us?    It’s Not For (just)Me to Say!
