Welcome to my personal blog, since 2012. After seven years and few posts the last several; me thinks I’m going to add more links from my favorite “newspapers” and continue to post selfies, of course, and kitty pics and my garden.All images copyright 2019Scott Gatty.
The thing that has fascinated me most in life is Time, the passage of it and my relationship to it as I age. I was born in 1957; the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, was put into orbit by the Commies when I was four months old and set off a panic here....the first Pink Flamingo lawn ornament rolled off the assembly line; "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" was first published, by Dr. Seuss, Burt Bacharach joined with lyracist Hal David to create some wonderful songs and five days after I was born, John Lennon was introduced to Paul McCartney (!) Things one finds on Wiki. What matters most to me are family, friends, my kitty kats, friends, the plant world, art, making art....laughing and making others laugh. Plants: the other major form of life we share this planet with, but very few of our species treat them with the dignity and respect they deserve. We hear of animal rights, thank God, but not enough of plant rights. I remind people: we need them, for the air we breathe and the food we eat, they're not dependent upon us. Thanks for visiting. "Where or When" is a song by the team of Rogers and Hart. Lorenz Hart was a gifted lyricist, who happened to be gay, and a tragic figure,who wrote lyrics to some of the most beautiful and romantic love songs I've ever heard. The wonderful melodies were composed by Richard Rogers, before he teamed up with Hammerstein.
Born on this day: January 19, 1943 - Rock vocal icon Janis Joplin (born Janis Lyn Joplin in Port Arthur, TX). Happy Birthday to “Pearl” on what would have been her 76th Birthday!!
So many more beautiful songs in addition to the only two or so you’ll hear today.

Rest in Peace Janis.
My only recollection of her alive was at the age of 12, in 1969—I asked my 14 year-old brother, who did make one of her last concerts—“how can you stand her, she has such a scratchy voice?”
I was happy a year or so later when I fell in love with her music….that I had heard pass through our bedroom wall (usually late at night!)
