Joe Cocker live 1970 - Obamas Last Night- ALOHA!

In a day of costumes, tie-die, and 

revolutionary EVERYTHING,

Joe Cocker was instantly DIFFERENT (!)

Was he for real?

Idiot Savant?  Truly mad or infirm?  

No one sang or moved like him! 

Like his body couldn't contain 

his vision and talent. His was the first

"Air Guitar" 

RIP Joe Cocker!





GOSSIP:

The Obama's DID eat at Morimoto, 

within sight of my lanai (balcony) last night.

Secret Service and HPD did a nice job. 

And then: they were OFF! 


-" DINNER WITH FRIENDS - The White House said the Obama family later went to dinner with friends at Morimoto Waikiki, a Japanese restaurant created by Masaharu Morimoto of "Iron Chef." It is one of their favorite dining spots on the island of Oahu and dinner there has become a vacation staple for them." News Link


Which prompted my early EARLY 

childhood memory of 

John F. Kennedy's speeding

motorcade through my town 

when he was senator/presidential 

candidate. I have a distinct memory 

of the excitement, the small expectant crowd, 

and the B L U R that was our view 

(he wan't able to stop - but waved for 

1/18th of a second.)


Yes. I am "old."


Glad to have YOU

to share it with!

             Warmly, cloudia

Most Wonderful

A  L  O  H  A  !

 Want To Take YOU Higher!

It's beginning to look. . .

round the corner 
there may wait, 
A new road 
or 
a secret gate."

This time of year
we reflect on our
blessings,
of which
(to me)
YOU are one!
