Geezer rock?

A few mornings ago, I heard on the radio about a rock concert scheduled for here in Hawaii with The Yardbirds. They were one of the more notable British rock groups in the '60s. In the interview with one of the 2 original members of the group, I found out they had performed a concert in Hawaii 50 years ago(!) Assuming the original musicians coming back were, say, 20, they'd be 70 years old now!

Three of the founding members were Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page, who I'm guessing won't be part of the group this time around. They're listed in the top 15 guitarists in the world by Rolling Stone magazine.

Webinar Sept. 27: photographer Stacy Pearsall presents “Shooting on Location“

I’ve seen several webinars with her so far. She’s an excellent photographer and presenter.

Film recommendation: "Bill Cunningham New York"

An excellent documentary I watched on Netflix Instant last night. I think it's just out. The guy is on his 29th bike so far, after having 28 stolen(!) This staff photographer mixes with all levels of society in NYC wearing (every day?) $20 blue Paris street sweeper's smocks as his "uniform", lived for many years in a tiny apartment in Carnegie Hall filled mostly with file cabinets, bathroom down the hall, no kitchen (he never ate in). ;-)

IMDB gave it 8 out of 10. (I find that when their rating is around 8, a film is very, very good to superb.)
