Saw a segment on that great show CBS Sunday Morning about author Herman Wouk, still going strong and writing at age 102 - and he looked fabulous!  Made me optimistic, and my younger wife nervous as hell.

Happy birthday, Murry; Wishing you were here

Gotta celebrate the old boy's centennial year.  After all he had many faces...well 2 anyway.

And he left us with 4 GREAT gifts ... in spite of himself ... ... ...

1...Love Won't Wait.
2...Leaves
3...Painting With Teardrops ... and ...
4...Heartbreak Lane.

But wait ... I jest ...

He left us with ... chronologically ...

1...Brian
2...Dennis
3...Carl ... and ...
4...The undeniable LOVE of music he and Audree instilled in them.

So thanks you wicked old sinner.  You left a truly meaningful legacy in spite of your many violent moods.

2017 is the 100th anniversary of Thelonious Monk's birth also (10/10/17). the music he recorded in 1959 for the film Les Liaisons Dangereuses was recently discovered and released just a couple weeks before Sunshine Tomorrow. it's been a great summer so far!
