A Walk to Venice Beach




We have been eating way too many cookies from the party last night, so we decided to walk to Venice Beach this afternoon.  There are always photographs here, no matter where you look.  So I started with the landscape photo with the iconic palm trees.  But then as we walked up and down the boardwalk, I saw this musician playing a cello, of all instruments.  I mean, usually all you hear is guys playing electric guitars badly.  But he has a "looping" device and an electronic pickup on his cello, and so the music can be layered, by playing back something he recorded, while he is playing another track on top of it. I spent quite a while listening to his wonderful playing.   His name is Martin Watkinson and you can fund his website at < www.gaeasoul.com >

Martin Watkinson looks like such a happy soul. Love the photo of the palm trees. We are supposed to get record temperatures in the 60's on Christmas Day! Crazy!!! bsk
