Original Art Design -Gary Wendt, 1991
Shall I make a long story short? In 1991 my dear bandmates and I made record... er a cassette, actually. We sold it at our gigs, and to family and friends. Two of the songs got a little airplay on our local NPR station. The band played from 1990 to 1993, and it was a seminal experience in my career. The friendships formed with my Akoustik Brothers and Sister are lifelong and unique.
Recently, (hell, months ago!) My Brother, biological brother, that is, started asking me if Oval Window was ever re-recorded onto cd. I did not know, but later asked my Akoustik Brother Link. We have all gone our separate ways, and while we live within forty miles of each other, we rarely see each other. We talk on the phone a few times a year. Anyway, he had just happened to have a friend make a copy for him. Last week I went to my old hometown of Denton to pick up a copy from him. We also jammed a little. (I am going to have to do that more often. I have hardly improvised since joining Fort Worth Symphony full-time, and I miss it.)
So, inspired by My Brother's persistent interest in our music, and the wonderful timeless friendships, and my own wonder at how "that old stuff still sounds pretty good!", I spent many hours over the last few days suing my photo and photoediting skills. Back when we made that music, I never would have imagined this other, visual, creative outlet in my life. I hope that the refurbished packaging will make a nice little gift to my Brothers and Sister, both kinds, in honor of our bonds.

I made the cradle as small as was feasible without compromising its hold of the BlackBerry while charging.
With street parking on major roads as uncommon as it is in Texas outside of the big city downtowns, imagine how pleased I was to find parallel street parking for compact cars along W Magnolia Ave in Fort Worth's Near Southside. Yes, I'd rather have that concrete parking lane covered in tar to blend in with the rest of the road, but I'm being nitpicky here. Fort Worth has done as good of a job as any on Magnolia Avenue by even having parallel street parking in the first place, reducing the number of thru-traffic lanes rather than increasing their number, implementing bike lanes (the area between the solid white line and the edge separating the tar/concrete is the west-bound bike lane), and having compact car-only parking (in a city and state filled with full-size pickup trucks and SUVs!).
Another awsome Sport Compact event at WSID.Loads of cars made the trek from all over Aus to compete.Almost capacity entries on the track & a great selection of hot cars on show.
The presentation standard of Sport Compact drag cars has really amazed me so far this year, with a lot of the top runner track cars looking like prestine show cars with candy pearl paint jobs,tastefull air brushing and graffix and tuff drag spec rims all round. these guys have definatly stepped it up a notch!
Took a whole lot of photo's throughout the day, but unfortunatly forgot my memory backup so was limited to 4G worth of space...Ahhhrr.
Anyway, enjoy and please let me know what you think.

This flat in an Edwardian Mansion block had been badly converted and needed respectful modernisation. Original sash windows, plaster cornices and deep skirtings were refurbished and classical room proportions restored. In a small flat where every inch of space needed to work hard, ‘fat’ walls were built to accommodate services and storage. A wet room was installed to provide a spacious shower experience and full height library shelving was fitted in spare pockets in the hallway. The bedroom was opened up entirely on one side to share space with the hallway and a wall sized walnut sliding door installed to close the room when visitors were present. The result is an elegant and efficient flat.
Aft panel, boom attachment, tail lights, drone and camera.
