Noah's Heart Job

Meet Noah Guinto, PA with Cottage hospital Cardiology and Thoracic Surgery Santa Barbara. He attended during my husband's open heart surgery last month and was a comforting and familiar presence in the ICU while my husband was recovering. During that time, we got to know him and like so many of Barry's  caregivers, he was a Godsend! As a way of thanks, I presented him with this rendering I did during the quiet moments at my husband's bedside. "I dont have any pictures on my desk yet," he exclaimed, "so this will be my first one!"  Noah was one of many who cared for my husband. He had 2 heart valves repaired.  The staff at Cottage Hospital saved my husband's life.

Our neighbor, Alicia, wearing a very "Gagesque" ensemble I designed. I'm hoping to see her around somewhere and give her this picture. Who knows? She might wear this outfit in one of her shows!

Who else? Elton John! 2 years qgo, I was seated in the audience at a concert series my husband is one of the official photographers for. It's called Tales from the Tavern. All the locals come out to listen to and enjoy a private evening of live music. It's a tiny venue that only seats about 100 and because the Santa Ynez Valley is dotted with legendary music people, you never know who will show up.  That evening, seated in front of me, was celebrated songwriter, Mr. Bernie Taupin. I could have drawn Bernie but chose this colorfully feathered version of Elton instead.  As Bernie says, "you had a busy day today..."

Skunk Baxter

This week's featured artist is rock star of the stars himself, Mr. Jeff "Skunk" Baxter.  This former Steely Dan member and Doobie Brother has quite a constellation of merits and credits including session work with Eric Clapton, Gene Simmons, Dolly Parton, Carly Simon and Ringo Star. But it doesn't stop there. In '95, he was on the missile defense advisory board!  The Skunk has just finished his latest album, The Speed of Heat which will be coming out soon. He's revived and upgraded the tasty Steely Dan song My Old School. I just got done listening to it and let me tell ya, it is SOLAR! Can't wait to hear the rest of the album. I have the utmost respect for this man of great musical talents and contributions to the welfare and preservation of mankind. For you, Skunk.
