Whenever I hear Nina Simone sing, everything seems to make sense . Is there an artist who does this for you? Please share!
It's snowing in October in New York City and Nina's voice and piano playing create a reality and form based on true musicianship. What a gift! God Bless Nina Simone for recognizing, sharing and nurturing her gift. And God Bless those who stood by her to do so.
As we pass through "All Hallow's Eve", look listen and send love and appreciation to those who came before you. May your passage be peaceful and enlightening.
Thank you again to Nina Simone Goddess of sound, fearless artist, woman of truth
Please allow me to share a quote from Stella Adler: "Acting is action, action is doing. Find ways to do it, not to say it." From Keith McKay's book, Robert Deniro: The Hero Behind the Masks. In 2005 I worked on Robert Deniro's film The Good Shepard, five days of work total, not including the wardrobe fitting. It was thrilling. First three days were in August, last two in December. Before the casting director called me back for the December shoot I had just listened and danced to Nina's song "Children Go Where I Send You". This is my truthful musing. As I said, her music moves me.
We shot on location in a Long Island Mansion and William Hurt was on the set. I love his work. The shoot was around a piano singing Christmas Carols. I think the child actor had a challenging scene with Santa. Christmas can be dramatic!
Well, cheers to great films and actors. At a local thrift shop I found "Dreams" by Akira Kurosawa to help me celebrate the night of the veils. This is going to be a mysterious sacred night of transition. Behold . But first let's make it through this snowstorm. Then Behold!
