"Round About Midnight" Friday evening I had the weekend off so I thought I catch a live Jazz set in the CO. I pointed Google maps towards Dicks Den on High St. got in my car and proceeded to my destination. Drummer Gregory Pearson, aka The Governor, led a superb ensemble of musicians: (Dolly) Setting the tone, stepped into the scene of an unscripted, unrehearsed live jazz performance with The Governor, Greg Pearson, his drop, lock snare power on drums nicely framed Dolly's smooth buttery voice. Ron Hope on percussion along with tight keys and horn made this a sweet, head bobbing experience, we certainly enjoyed the playing of some well refined masters of the craft. Nothing better than cool jazz in a dimly lit bar on cool, breezy, star bangle summer night. John Eshelman-piano, Roger Hines-bass, Randy Mather-sax, Dolly King-vocals, Ron 'Chopper' Hope-percussion

BLACK THOUGHTS BY ANTHONY ALDEN "I was often told by people around me I would never change. I not only allowed those negative people to reside in my world but I allowed them to cast me into a picture of a man that I wasn't. They thought I wouldn't. They said I couldn't. They told me I shouldn't. So I did. Become all the man I could be."

"I have been journalizing my thoughts since my early teens. I don't think I would have survived if it wasn't for my camera, pen,  and paper. I thank God every day of my life for giving me this most precious gift, the ability to look inside my inner self and share my soul." "Picture My Word"  My Words, My Wisdom, My Life I dedicate to My Mom Elizabeth Vines RIP    When we lose loved ones to death it can often leave us at a loss for words as we try to reconcile the past.
