When I was 19 years old I won tickets from the local radio station to see a movie titled "The Last Waltz", I also won a copy of the album.  I had no idea what it was really, had not much of an idea who "The Band" was, but I was happy to go for free, and what a treat!  It featured a lot of musical performers that I did know, and I got to know the members of the Band, and appreciated them by the time it was over.

I ran across one of my favorite songs from that movie today, Helpless by Neil Young, with Joni Mitchell in the background, beautiful and haunting.

 

 

I could listen to this all day! But, I've settled for adding this version to my studio playlist to bring back fond memories while I work on my latest painting.  This is a custom painting using a photo my client took: A Buffalo with the Tetons in the background, very dramatic composition!  It's not finished of course but it's got paint on it.  

I do custom work frequently, this is the best way to get exactly what you want in exactly the perfect size.
