Been re-reading the last few pages of this thread, and...OH, MY GAWD...based on He Who's description of her writing, I must be a distant descendant of Willa Cather! Will seek out her writings today, as I'd already planned a trip to a nearby branch library to do research for future fics. Thanks, all, but, of course, special thanks to Cleome. love

What is cleome's super-power? Can she change into various plants or does she perform magic based upon plants? Or is it something else entirely?

I thought that she imparted others with the gift of photosynthesis. The increased metabolism resulting in little happy flurries of posting when she passes by.

I haven't read enough good fiction in several years (too many work-related books to cover). This year is fiction year. I just added O Pioneers to my list.

I'm glad my latest prolonged disappearance has been forgiven so easily.

I'm still not getting enough offline reading done, though. I got a copy of June Jordan's We're On from the library two weeks ago, but I've only picked at it a bit.

On the other hand, my Photoshop doodling is progressing nicely. Don't forget to click the sig line link if you like seeing open-faced sandwiches morphed into propellers, etc.

Happy Birthday to my dear friend Cleome! happybirthday

This is also a good place for me to tell her about that Stanley Dance book, "Jazz Age: The 40s", which she inspired me to borrow from the library.

It's basically a jazz guide with a very long introductory essay by Dance (the individual artists are reviewed by Dance along with several other writers.) I found it very informative and well-written, as well as a good primer for someone like me who only knows a handful of jazz artists by name. The one part that made me raise my eyebrow was Dance's seemingly disdainful attitude towards the Bop movement, and in particular its visual signifiers (berets, dark glasses, etc.) At the same time, since the book was written in 1960, just before all the young white college kids started appropriating those very same signifiers, made it hard for me to not indulge in a chuckle.

That's interesting, because Duke Ellington, who was so close to Dance, had lots of praise for bop founders like Monk and Mary Lou Williams. (He wrote a piece called "Frere Monk," in fact.)

How do I love Cleome?

Let me count the ways.

...

I'm up to 3000, as in Mystery Science Theatre 3000.

I bet if you saw all the Cleome brithday threads on a sitemap, they would be positioned in inspiring and artful ways.

Deep breath to blow up those lower case letters....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLEOME!
