It's oh so quiet...
shh, shh...
It's oh so still...
shh, shh...
You're all alone...
And so peaceful until...
You fall in love.
The Straight Story
"Alvin Ray Straight (17 October 1920 – 9 November 1996) was a resident of Laurens, Iowa. He gained fame for traveling 240 miles (390 km) on a 1966 John Deere riding lawn mower to visit his 80-year-old ill brother in Mount Zion, Wisconsin. His brother had recently had a stroke. At a top speed of 5 miles per hour (8.0 km/h), the journey took six weeks. The trip took place in the summer of 1994 when Alvin was 73 years old.
Straight's story was adapted into the film The Straight Story, directed by David Lynch, which starred Richard Farnsworth (in an Oscar nominated role) as Alvin Straight.
Farnsworth was diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer in the early 90's. By 1999, he had been diagnosed as having terminal bone cancer. He made the movie The Straight Story while in considerable pain.
Farnsworth shot himself at his ranch in Lincoln, New Mexico."

Pieter Hugo
The Hyena & Other Men (c) Pieter Hugo"(..)I agreed to travel with the animal wranglers to Kanu in the northern part of the country. One of them set out to negotiate a fare with a taxi driver; everyone else, including myself and the hyenas, monkeys and rock pythons, hid in the bushes. When their companion signalled that he had agreed on a fare, the motley troupe of humans and animals leapt out from behind the bushes and jumped into the vehicle. The taxi driver was completely horrified. I sat upfront with a monkey and the driver. He drove like an absolute maniac. At one stage the monkey was terrified by his driving. It grabbed hold of my leg and stared into my eyes. I could see its fear."
Dos trabalhos de retrato que mais gostei nos últimos tempos.
A música, como arte que é, não tem propriamente um historial de consensos...
mas...
no que toca ao instrumento "Baixo", é praticamente unânime que os 4 maiores nomes da história são:
Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten, Stanley Clark e Jaco Pastorius (morreu em 1987)
Ontem, os 3 primeiros, vieram a Oeiras... tocar... JUNTOS!
como baixista que sou, é fácil entender que este, tenha sido, provavelmente, o melhor concerto que vi até hoje.

Tirei fotos da plateia, embora a organização me tenha pedido mais que uma vez para guardar a camera:
