This young singer gave a sterling performance at the Sandbach Transport and Music Festival Day 1. She had the no nonsense, professionalism of the old time saloon singers and I chose this old style image to best display her.

Riviera Beach is a city in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States, which was incorporated September 29, 1922. Due to the location of its eastern boundary lies, it is also the easternmost municipality in the South Florida metropolitan area. The population was 29,884 at the 2000 census. As of 2004, the population was estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau to be 32,522.
Singer Island is located on the Atlantic coast of Palm Beach County, Florida in the South Florida metropolitan area. Most of it is in the city of Riviera Beach, but the town of Palm Beach Shores occupies its southern tip. Its latitude of is 26.784 N and its longitude is -80.037 W. The easternmost point of Florida is located there in Palm Beach Shores. Singer Island is actually a peninsula and not an island. Before the Palm Beach Inlet was created, it was connected to the island of Palm Beach to the south.
Named after Palm Beach developer Paris Singer, a son of Isaac Singer, the Singer Sewing Machine magnate, Singer Island has parks, marinas, hiking and bike paths, as well as 4.7 miles (7.6 km) of sparkling white sand beaches that has been considered one of the top five beaches in Palm Beach County.
In addition, Singer Island is located 3 miles (4.8 km) from North Palm Beach, 5.4 miles (8.7 km) from West Palm Beach, 5.4 miles (8.7 km) from Palm Beach Gardens, 6.2 miles (10.0 km) from Juno Beach, and 10.6 miles (17.1 km) from Jupiter.
It is said that Singer Island was originally purchased by Paris Singer as a gift for his mistress, who reportedly did not like it. Today it is a picturesque, upscale and pristine living place for thousands of condo owners. The tallest of these is the 42-story "Tiara", which was severely damaged by several hurricanes since 2004 and was still closed for repairs three years later. Residents moved back into the building in 2008.
Singer Island is home to professional golfer Michelle McGann, a longtime Singer Island resident. Singer Island was also home to rocker and E Street Band member Clarence Clemons.

Today I visited the Imperial War Museum (especially floors 2 and 3.) John Singer Sargent's late masterpiece Gassed finished March 1919 . It depicts the aftermath of a mustard gas attack during the First World War, with a line of wounded soldiers walking towards a dressing station. Sargent was commissioned by the British War Memorials Committee to document the war and visited the Western Front in July 1918 spending time with the Guards Division near Arras. The painting is a harrowing scene depicting the ugliness of war and its victims, it references Pieter Bruegel the Elder's The Parable of the Blind leading the blind of 1568. If you are in London you should go and see this powerful work.
On a happier note I visited my friend Kate Wilson and her show "Total Rubbish." The paintings although depicting rubbish were very far from rubbish, but a powerful comment on what is often discarded or seen as waste. In some ways there is a sort of link with Sargent and the human detritus of war.

Christie’s Catalogue Note:
“The sense of dramatic energy that pervades the best of Sargent’s work finds an explicit rendering in Marionettes, as Sargent presents a quartet of men operating these Sicilian rod puppets within a confined and dramatically lit interior. The shimmering golden palette he utilizes suggests the stifling heat permeating the space, also indicated by the shirtless torso of one of the operators. Indeed, the air feels thick with eager anticipation: although Sargent does not depict the remainder of the audience, a fifth figure watches intently from the stage wings. His clear engagement with the dramatic performance adds to the overall sense of excitement emanating from the scene. Sicilian puppeteers preferred romantic and bloody dramas, and the rendering of two dueling knights watched by a visibly distraught woman in black suggests the specific play the artist depicts here is based on the a 15th century Italian epic poem, Orlando Furioso.”

Gently swaying in a trade wind breeze,
Holding court along the shore.
This is my postcard from paradise,
Tropical dreams forever more.
