“Uptown Funk” song.
Sunny Winter Sunday.
This is the burn (stream) next to my house - running fairly high after a downpour on Saturday.
I thought it looked quite nice with the sun on the moss and the bare branches. Sometimes, we pan for gold here, on the off chance that rain has dislodged a wee seam...Much chance of that!

I fell out of my bed tonight and followed a photographic and musical impulse.... ;) So I'm back for a photo and a song, perhaps for the whole album....;)
Watch and listen with me...

when i was in 4th grade music class, the teacher put out instruments,
asking us to pick the one we wanted to learn to play.
i picked up a trumpet and blew baby, with all my mighty tight might.
hell no, no shy skinny little white girl on a horn like that!
the teacher told me i could learn the piano.
alright. but it had to be an organ. i wanted to play jazz organ.
hell no, they wouldn't teach me a thing then.
but you see, can't you see? i got that hip trip:
funk
funk blues
funk rock
funk jazz
acid funk
funk fusion
funk 'n' heart 'n' soul
don't make no never mind
what's the matter baby
play anything with a funk groove
and i move
to a higher plane
onto a runaway train
come for the cosmic earthy long ride
on this funky busway with me!
Lutry (Suisse) - Le festival musical la « Folle semaine » de Lutry (2019) s’est terminé avec quatre concerts, dont celui du bassiste Achille Ouattara accompagné de la chanteuse Paméla et Moïse (le batteur hors champ).
Des musiciens émérites qui pour la circonstance, se sont associés avec trois autres guitaristes (également hors-champ) rencontrés pendant le festival. On a eu droit à un concert unique et mémorable d’Afro-Funk. Mais pendant la « balance » (réglage de la sono), ils se sont amusés en reprenant des titres de rockprogressistes et sont partis dans un délire sur du jazz fusion. Et le tout dans la bonne humeur. Cette photo a été prise au début du concert avant que la lumière ne devienne trop ingérable en raison de la faiblesse du matériel d’éclairage.

Lutry (Switzerland) - The Lutry "Folle Semaine" music festival (2019) ended with four concerts, including that of bassist Achille Ouattara accompanied by singer Paméla and Moïse (the drummer off camera).
Distinguished musicians who for the occasion were joined by three other guitarists (also off-screen) met during the festival. We were treated to a unique and memorable Afro-Funk concert. But during the "balance" (adjustment of the sound system), they had fun by taking up progressive rock titles and went into a delirium on jazz fusion. And all in a good mood. This photo was taken at the start of the concert before the light became too unmanageable due to poor lighting equipment.
My wife and I went for a walk in the woods on New Year's Eve. We were finishing the short loop when we saw this this gruesome, almost-fresh deer skeleton draped over the trail junction sign, with the flesh not quite totally cleaned off. I was pretty sure I would have noticed it if it had been there when we walked by the same spot 1/2 hour earlier. We weren't sure if it was somebody's rather sick joke, or just part of some kind of demo that was going on at the nearby nature center.
My favorite hangout in the city is gone. The one business I wanted to survive, L'Escalier finally threw in the towel. Live music, 4 pm to closing seven days a week. No one left to fill the gap...
So an upload from happier times... Canon EOS 600 series (likely my 620, but possibly an RT or 630) with an EF 85mm f/1.8. I would rotate my fast primes through l'Escalier as the musicians were lively and the venue was dark (at least dark for photography).
Thanks for 100+ views in a day.
