Take Five & Wish Dave Brubeck a Very Happy Birthday!

Dave Brubeck is 91 years young today!

A living legend & Jazz Icon. This painting is a small tribute to Mr. Brubeck, whom I greatly admire! Wishing all the best to him on his birthday.

Happy birthday, Dave! And what a wonderful tribute, Karen. It's been so long. Ever since the BC switchover, I've lost touch with so many old friends. I'm now digging through old posts of mine to renew those friendships. Hope you've been well.

Hi Marty!
Thanks so very much!
Isn't Dave Brubeck just the greatest? I guess Billy Joel was wrong after all. ; )

About B.C., I can't even get on there right now, due to the changes you speak of & a really slow dial-up internet connection. C'est la vie. Hoping for high speed soon.
I've been over to your blog a few times. It's in my favourite list. Haven't painted imagery with your Aphorisms yet, but will ask permission first. Still in the back of my mind. : )
Anyhow, great to hear from you! I really appreciate it. Hoping life is treating you well, too!
All the best,
K

Hi Jim! Yes, I'd agree wholeheartedly! Better late than never works for sure : )
