The night is bitter
The stars have lost their glitter.
The winds grow colder,
and suddenly you're older.
And all because of the man that got away...
--- Lyrics by Ira Gershwin
That song is in my mind. The best I've ever heard it sung was when Cher did it. Yep. Cher. That woman can sing a smoky blue song!
Today is Veterans Day. To all veterans out there: Thank you.

the pose is eloquent with lovely expressive hands ... choice of watercolor feels right for the mood - its somehow more fragile, more ephemeral, fugitive ... feel like putting on some BB King now
Hi Rhonda,
Thanks for thinking of the vets!
Sincerely,
Gary.
Great interpretation of a great song!
Thank you so much, Harry. Your comments are most appreciated! And BB King is always a good choice.
Gary, you are most welcome.
Elizabeth, thanks - I do like that song. I think the old bluesy songs were worth saving and remembering.
Oooo, love your freedom here.

Thanks, Pam and Cathy. Cathy, I didn't have a soldier in mind when that song was running through my mind - but it definitely fits, doesn't it?
