A moment from my day, while sitting at my desk

That was SO not funny.
Dumb human…
…about the musicDon’t mess with nature. Especially when it has a sharp beak and even sharper talons…

Perfect, Alex, what a crack up! So, what happens next, a bombing run?

Judging from the occasional white splotches on my deck, I’d say that it’s the seagulls who have the bombing run exercise down…

How fortunate can one woman be? Eagles as sky pedestrians. Your shutter speed must be fast; almost made a movie out this fellow. Your music mp3 is dynamic, forceful, like the TV series score it was done for; I guess. MOST WANTED ran about 22 episodes in 1976-77. It starred Robert Stack, and the pilot also had a young Tom Selleck in it. IMDb only listed the score composer for the pilot, a dude named Patrick Williams. Surely you were still in high school in 1976. Have I pursued another red herring?

Close, but no cigar Glenn– I never even knew there was a TV show called “Most Wanted” when I was growing up (I didn’t watch a lot of TV, thus my cluelessness). But this track was, in fact, a demo I did in the 90’s for the theme to a TV show called “America’s Most Wanted,” which I think may still be running, or if not, ran for a long time (too bad I didn’t get the theme! $$!).
Patrick Williams is The Man!! A very wonderful and respected guy.
Yours in televised red herrings by the Salish sea,
your kelpy pal Al

[…] Every photo in this post was taken while I was seated at my desk. I am one lucky composer chickie. Most were shot last week, and a couple were first seen here. […]
