Jon Cleary group was one of the highlights Havana Jazz festival. The New Orleans party guys invited some of the best Cuban horn players for this gig at La Fabrica. Emir was probably the busiest guy with sax at this year festival. I've seen him in 3 concerts, but he played in several more. Santa Cruz -sax, Trumpet- Christian Figueredo, Trombone-Juan Carlos Marin.
Plus 2 monster Percussionists: Yaroldy Abreu (Cuba) and Pedro Segundo (Portugal). There was also barisax, but his name escaped me.

El grupo Jon Cleary fue uno de los platos fuertes del festival Havana Jazz. Los fiesteros de Nueva Orleans invitaron a algunos de los mejores trompetistas cubanos para este concierto en La Fábrica. Emir fue probablemente el tipo más ocupado con el saxo en el festival de este año. Santa Cruz -saxo, Trompeta- Christian Figueredo, Trombón-Juan Carlos Marin.
Más 2 percusionistas monstruosos: Yaroldy Abreu (Cuba) y Pedro Segundo (Portugal)
Jon Cleary, British born, Grammy-winning New Orleans pianist, guitarist and singer. The best concert, in the best venue I have seen this year in Havana. The band included a Monster Cuban horn section. The jam-packed room in 'La Fabrica', the best place to hear concert in Havana, was in a party mood, swinging and swaying. Band members were Jon Cleary (keys, guitar, vocals), Cornell Williams (bass and vocals), AJ Hall (drums and vocals). 2 monster percussionists: Yaroldy Abreu (Cuba) and Pedro Segundo (Portugal), plus Monster Horn section: Emir Santa Cruz -sax, Trumpet- Christian Figueredo, Trombone-Juan Carlos Marin.
This concert alone was compensation enough for the cold showers, low water pressure, or no water at all, lousy breakfast, weak coffee and other shortcomings, in my Havana hotel.

Jon Cleary, Pianista, guitarrista y cantante de Nueva Orleans, nacido en Gran Bretaña y ganador de un Grammy. El mejor concierto, en el mejor local que he visto este año en La Habana. La banda incluía una sección de trompa Monster Cuban. La sala repleta de 'La Fábrica', el mejor lugar para escuchar conciertos en La Habana, estaba en un ambiente de fiesta, balanceándose y swinging.
The forecast was for a very active aurora tonight, so I went to Cleary Summit (a pass in the White Mountains northeast of Fairbanks.
While the forecast wasn't especially accurate, this is a good place to get a view with the higher altitude and a good view to the northeast.
The bright spot is the moon, which doesn't get very big with the fisheye lens.
CP 384-219 had a nice CIT SD90MAC leading in the attractive blue paint, so I ran over to Howard in Des Plaines for a shot. Love those blue upside down "V" chevrons!
Taken from Cleary Summit northeast of Fairbanks Alaska. Note the airplane flying thru the exposure with each flash of the strobes recorded.
Fans are leaving flowers and others tributes to Beverly Cleary at this sculpture garden named for the Portland-based author. The majority of Cleary's books are set in the Grant Park neighborhood of northeast Portland, Oregon, where she was raised.
Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary in July 1979.
The occasion was the 150th anniversary of the start of bus services in London. There was a rally in Hyde Park. Preceding that was a road run featuring numerous historic buses - all lead by the replica of the original George Shilibeer Omnibus of 1829 (that had been built in 1929).
Michael took pictures in Pentonville Road and at Kings Cross.

This is RMC4 - one of the 4 original prototype Routemasters and the only one that continued in normal service after the original trials.
Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary. November 1988.
The 24 was a high-profile tender win by Grey-Green. The first time that an independent had taken over a trunk Central London service. Clearly on the last night they had put out RM 804 to mark the occasion. One of the more usual OPO Titans is seen alongside at Hampstead Heath.
Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary. Around Christmas 1987.
Don't know how long this operator lasted. I don't recall hearing about them. But we know from Michael's pictures that they operated at least three routes using DMS's and reached Pudsey and Greengates from Leeds.
This is Pudsey (see below).
Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary. In or around July 1979. This is the old WH garage. Its on a new site today.

One Saturday Stevensons ran some interesting buses in service.
This is Uttoxeter.
Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary. Late 1982/early 83 I believe. Note the LS with a dot-matrix blind.

Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary. Early 1988. I wonder if this was the first day of this ill-fated venture in January 1988? Hired Hull and Greater Manchester Atlanteans were employed by Maidstone Boro'line until new buses arrived.
Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary. I believe this was the last day of London Buses operation on route 24, plus RM operation on routes 29 & 135 - 4th November 1988.
RM804 came out to play (the route was OPO T type by this date).

Don't know what was going on there - but clearly that RMA has been converted to open-top and to have a door suitable for driving on the right.
Stagecoach had been using it on route 15: www.flickr.com/photos/9003948@N05/37888853821
On 'Bus Lists on the Web' it says "converted to open top after export". Clearly that isn't correct.

I suppose this was the last day of service for this Transit, new A class Dodges taking over the next day.

I suppose this was some sort of commuter coach service from London Victoria (operated by Amersham garage). Michael did ride on it, though the picture at the other end wasn't very interesting!

This service used to link the main London terminals at night, though only at weekends. It used to be a collection of random journeys that were once timed to meet certain overnight trains. In typical LT fashion the bus timetable remained unchanged, even though, over the years, the trains were withdrawn or re-timed! Later it became an hourly clockwise circuit of the main stations. A much better use of the one bus employed. Judging by the blind I imagine that this had happened by this date.
I expect Michael went for a ride as the MD was replaced by a DM in January 1981. The service was crew-operated. I understand that the conductor was liable to go 'touting' on the station concourse!
This is Kings Cross.
