Bio
I'm an illustrator in my day job, but I keep leaking with other things that need to get out. I compiled a book "Miss You, Pat: Collected Memories of NY's Bravest of the Brave, Captain Patrick J. Brown" which enables me to die knowing I did one good thing. But I have more up my sleeve!

Oh dear, I couldn't wait to click on this, and the images are blocked. Will have to wait until I get home. Rated in advance. Happy Valentine's Day, Sharon~
Sharon ~ looking and sounding great! Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours!
Sorry about the cold, but Happy Valentine's Day anyway, Sharon.

Videos chosen because: I am illustrating a scene from the 1920s for a children's book proposal; I LOVE Eric Burden, and got to see him at BB King's a year ago; & the Woody Allen flick "Hannah and Her Sisters" is one of my favorite valentines to NYC. I also got to see Bobby Short at the Cafe Carlyle a few years before he died. Wishing all a wonderful day--transcend Hallmark ! Spread your good hearts.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day to you too,Sharon. r
One Bobby Short to go and one huge hug for you and a loved one???????:)
HUGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Love Hannah, and this exuberant post~
I have to admit a love for "hannah & her sisters", too.
My folks were born in those long ago 1920's.
Such hope tempered by the tragedy of
the Great War...sexual freedom
peeking out from under
the Ancient Curse on Sensuality..
then......
the horror of the Depression & the Next War...
Soo cool! Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's to you! Could the Animals really have been that young?
Misery loves company - I'm suffering with a bad cold too. But that won't stop me from wishing you a happy Valentine and enjoying the day with your gifts of music. Thank you, Sharon!
Love, ♥
Happy Valentine's Day!
God. The Animals were so hot and so cool.
oh that's fabulous.

and I sure hope you are. love is so much fun!

Happy Vday cookie!
thinking/sending you a red candy heart! xo
Nice selections, get well soon.
Three interpretations of a great tune. I'll vote for the Bobby Short version. R
Stupid cold!! :(

Rated!!!
Good beat. You can dance to it when you feel better. ;-) I love transcending Hallmark. Love and good thoughts your way today!
Here's wishing that your chosen sentiments are personally applicable. Hope so.

And thanks so much for all 3 vids, loved each and am also a big fan of "Hannah." And lucky you that you got to see Bobby Short.
This wasn't exactly what I was expecting from the title dirndl, unless you're being subtle. Three distinct takes on the theme. I've always been a fan of the Animals, their sound and Burdon's voice. Have you ever seen the clips from the NME 1965 show? Them at their best.

I saw Bobby Short around 1990. He was great so long as he stuck to music. His stage patter put me off. One too many "jokes" about how expensive the drinks were (and they were). Patronizing and smarmy. By the last one I felt like reminding him he could always take a pay cut to keep the prices down.

As for that version by The Five Swell Guys, I’d really really have to be in love with someone who really really loved it before it would take.
♥♥♥♥
Happy Day Sharon.
Sharon: I Love Eric Burdon too. Can we love him together? Well, his voice at least; like at 16 when he sang House Of The Rising Sun. That would be my opus to sing that and give it what he gave then (wit ha female voice of course) I'm still wondering if you are really in love again. I hope so!!
Love that feels sweet, even with a head cold. That's love! I'm sorry your Valentine's Day wasn't as clear as it might have been.
Congratulations!!!! May this love continue to blossom - you deserve this and more!
Happy belated Valentine's Day, Sharon. I was having computer problems then and missed this.
