check out the contact area : Zoltan E. Pali Somis Hay Barnvia zars
there are some pics that scroll in his contact area ... plus a nice
artsy sketch of it.
the hay is stored around the outside of the barn under an
overhang...so the hay walls get used and replenished and they change
the wall colorations according to the season, a very nice simple
design. Not for an area with driving rains however...
After Felix ended his run, Messmer teamed up with Douglas Leigh, the "Lamplighter of Broadway," where he was the lead animator for the large moving electronic signs that lit up Times Square.
During the 1940s and 1950s, Messmer continued to produce new Felix comic books for companies like Dell, Toby Press, and Harvey Comics, and by the 1960s Messmer was finally given the recognition he deserved as the true creator of Felix the Cat. He achieved this with the help of longtime assistant Joseph Oriolo, who took over for him in 1955 and is also credited as the creator of "Casper: The Friendly Ghost."

There is little doubt that you have heard the music of Jean 'Toots' Thielemans. Perhaps his most famous composition is the theme to "Sesame Street," which he wrote and performed on his famous harmonica.he also wrote (or co-wrote with ray charles - still checking into that) and was the note for note whistler/guitarist on bluesette
The 80-year-old Thielemans is most famous for bringing the harmonica into jazz. Prior to his introducing it into modern jazz orchestras, the harmonica was viewed as a passe' instrument of folk music.
Thielemans played on the soundtracks of such movies as "Midnight Cowboy" and "The Wiz," and his harmonica has complemented singers ranging from Ella Fitzgerald, to Paul Simon to Billy Joel and many others.
This hour, Toots Thieleman brings his harmonica and his stories to On Point Friday.

Mayhew's record is just one of several thousand cylinders, the first commercially available recordings ever produced, that have recently become available free of charge to anyone with an Internet connection and some spare bandwidth. Last November, the Donald C. Davidson Library at the University of California, Santa Barbara, introduced the Cylinder Digitization and Preservation Project Web site (cylinders.library.ucsb.edu), a collection of more than 6,000 cylinders converted to downloadable MP3's, WAV files and streaming audio. It's an astonishing trove of sounds: opera arias, comic monologues, marching bands, gospel quartets. Above all, there are the pop tunes churned out by Tin Pan Alley at the turn of the century: ragtime ditties, novelty songs, sentimental ballads and a dizzying range of dialect numbers performed by vaudeville's blackface comedians and other "ethnic impersonators."
For decades, these records languished unheard by all but a few intrepid researchers and enthusiasts. Now, thanks to the Santa Barbara Web site and the efforts of a small group of scholars, collectors and independent record labels, acoustic-era popular music is drifting back into earshot, one crackly cylinder and 78 r.p.m. disc at a time. These old records hold pleasant surprises, but they also carry a larger lesson about gaping holes in the story of American pop.

It would be a kind of journalism where the camera would be behind the scenes and not have to rely on a narrator to tell the story. That precipitated a whole revolution in making documentaries. It still hasn't filtered down to news reporting, which is still an illustrated lecture. The advance was to get to life in such a direct way that when you saw the film you could judge for yourself.--Albert Maysles
Meanwhile, Mr. Cruz is collaborating with the artist Rebecca Solnit on a theoretical proposal for transforming a 70,000-square-foot McMansion in suburban San Francisco — built during the dot-com boom — into multifamily housing. Mr. Cruz believes that grotesquely overscaled houses across the country will eventually go through a similar process, although that time could be 50 years away.estudio
"It's the next ring of densification," Mr. Cruz said confidently of the mega-McMansions, "so we thought it might make a perfect test case. How do you retrofit them?"
