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.

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!
Since Mike Cleary spent a lot of time around here and expressed an interest in any Pembine action (besides the smelt fry I enjoyed on one overnight visit), this is the only one I could offhand remember - and find - so here 'tis, Mike. This SD9 is for you! The occasion was while I was at work, but instead of running a train I was invited by the WC safety supervisor for a couple days in the engineering department's hi-rail to take some pictures of critical operational scenes (like the automatic interlocking I mentioned before, at "NBNR Junction", with the double armed semaphores) for the new training program. All he had were inherited from the Soo Line, and he wanted new ones as by this time there were more trainees coming aboard. We had spent the previous night at a motel near Escanaba, so this day was occupied hi-railing from Gladstone to Crandon. And who should show up but the E&LS job switching their ex-Milwaukee Road spurs with one of their ex-Reserve MIning SD9's. Chris was well aware of my tendency to view the railroad as more than JUST an occupation; I think he may have been chatting with one of the section guys or the E&LS crew while I caught this unit on the interchange track with the MILW/Soo depot peeking over the cars. That stopsign to the left of the 1220 is the same one shown from the lead unit of our detour train in the previous picture.
I think I mentioned it before, but the Soo Line's Minneapolis-S.S.Marie Nos.7/8 would exchange a Chicago-S.S.Marie Milwaukee Road sleeper here with their "Copper Country Limited" on its journey between Calumet and Chicago. It happened until the late'50s, close to the discontinuance of 7 and 8. The 1220 probably is sitting on the track where the nocturnal interchange took place. Would I like to go back in the time machine to witness an orange/maroon heavyweight sleeper tacked onto the wine red heavyweight equipment of the Soo? You shouldn't need to ask twice. I think an appropriately heavyweight orange/maroon baggage car also came along with express shipments.

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.

Showbus RM737 basks in the early Spring evening sun. So after the clocks went forward.
Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary. Late 1980.
Michael had a night out on the very limited night services that ran in those days.
He has found the single bus on route N82. This operated a few trips between Woolwich and New Cross - but this one is starting from Eltham (Well Hall). There is some sort of destination slip board in the windscreen. This service was one of the very few that ran on Saturday nights. Obviously they ran very few buses on the night of maximum demand! But then quite a lot of what London Transport did made little sense....
I think this route served more as a staff bus than anything else. Either way it was crew-operated!
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.

This is RMC4 - one of the 4 original prototype Routemasters and the only one that continued in normal service after the original trials.

The 'Shoplinker' was an unsuccessful service tried out at the time linking Central London shops.
Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary. Spring 1981. The 639 ran for just six months in 1981. It employed one bus M-F peaks and linked Kings Cross with the Vale Royal area off York Road. For the first 3 months it was a 'Red Arrow' SMS from Victoria garage, then it changed to LS after the SMSs were withdrawn. The SMS acquired a proper blind after a while, replacing the home made one seen here!
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. 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. 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.

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!
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).
Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary. Late 1980/Early 1981.
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.

Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary. Christmas 1987 I believe. Before the introduction of various midibus routes in the late 80s and 90s, the London bus network has some quite large holes in it. Consequently for a few years Lewisham Council contracted London Buses, in the form of Selkent Travel, to operate some services from outlying parts of the borough to Lewisham shopping centre in the pre-Christmas period. BLs 36 and 81 did the honours. The previous year I had photographed an LS on this work. In 1989 Michael photographed a midibus on Centre Link work.
Nowadays these points are served by regular buses into Lewisham.
This is the terminus in Molesworth St, round the back of the shopping centre.

Not the best of pictures, not helped by it being last on the film and suffering some light seepage. But very interesting as it shows a DMS, an M and a T on the same route at the same time!
DMS's were on their way out at Sidcup garage at this time, replaced generally by T's - however there were also a small number of M's - there as a comparative trial.
The location is Eltham, Well Hall. I would speculate that this was a Sunday and buses would be parked up here whilst drivers took their meal relief in Well Hall canteen. Perhaps the M has just run out light from SP (though empty running would have been considered very daring in those days!) and is about to commence work. Meanwhile the driver off either the T or the DMS has parked-up and gone to the canteen. The third bus having been parked up for relief earlier.
