Lovely. I'm letting it play as background music while I do stuff on the 'puter.

Thanks Moon & Faustus.

The more the merrier! Here's another favorite Ravel piece, performed by Vlado Perlemuter no less:

Did I happen to mention that I like your new picture?

 

Here's a better shot. It's part of a Salvador Dali portrait called In Voluptas Mors by Philippe Halsman.

Like it even better now. Radar domes and pillows are particular favourites of mine.

 

I'm envious of your avatars, Moon. You always have the most surreal, from plague doctor to Hieronymous Bosch, and now this classic photograph.

 

But this latest one is your best of all. And, the bonus is that you've got that Latin title to tie in with the site -- In Voluptas Mors ("In Pleasure, Death").

 

High five!

I found the picture and the person interesting.

There's just something stereotypically hilarious about a Jewish boxer who also happened to have been a dentist.

It's also kind of funny picturing Leach Cross handing someone his teeth to him -- in more ways than one.
