While the other pages in this site are geared toward my
"show-biz" endeavors, here's where I get to  share with you
two of my life's great passions: music and imagery.

The best songs, sonnets, ballads, poetry, screenplays, novels,
comedic one-liners, routines, parodies, and movies, etc., have
one common denominator: a solid story with a beginning,
middle and end to effectively convey a message.

The message here is: S

2006 Tournament of Roses Parade Floats
rose bowl floats
rosebowl floats
January 2, 2006, was the first time in fifty years a cold, hard driving rain
fell upon Pasadena's Tournament of the Roses Parade.

Considering that the visible surface of every float must be covered
exclusively with organic material such as floral, vegetable, fruits, seeds or
nuts, it was amazing how well they held up.

Marching to the beat of few choice classical orchestral pieces, these pictures
 attest to the skill of the minions of volunteers who labored over these
masterpiece floats.

Sierra Madre is bordered on the west by a tip of Pasadena.

This particular neighborhood takes its Holiday decorating responsibilities
very...make that...
VERY...seriously with each block assigned a theme such as
reindeer, Santas, snowflakes, snowmen, and angels.

The pictures in this slide show,
Chris-Hanna-Kwanza, are culled from three
successive nights of shooting.

The background music is performed by the L.A. Guitar Quartet.

Nature and man's creations blend in this shape shifting exercise. Set to a
cool musical sound track, you don't have to be stoned to enjoy this journey,
real and imagined, but...then again...it probably wouldn't hurt...
