Sometimes picking the week's "From The Vault" piece is a total stream of consciousness process.
I was in the middle of making a CD mix of songs for Darlin' Tracy, something I do fairly regularly that she enjoys. Its generally a mix of some new songs I've discovered, some older songs in my collection I think she'd like, and some random songs she'll mention that she likes. One song from the last category was Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline", so as soon as I could I downloaded it from iTunes.
Then, as I was deciding what piece to put up here, I remembered back in 1994, my formerly-Kubert School pals Sean Tiffany and Dan Eaker had some weird thing going where they fell in love with Neil Diamond's music. I remember not being able to tell whether it was all a joke, or serious, or some combo of the two.
Anyway, at the time I decided to get in on the joke by doing this cut-paper portrait of the man rocking out. I didn't think it came out too bad, but now I wish I had let the orange part creep a little further into the yellow part, and not stop at the black, dammit! What was I thinking?

Wasn't the original title of this piece something like "The hack who writes songs about ET"? Ha ha!
Awesome piece that brings back some great memories!
Ha! That actually rings a bell. I might have called it that, in my less charitable days.
Now, I enjoy a couple of ND songs, at least.
