OPEN POST: DeShawn The Lucky Duck!

By

There are many reasons that DeShawn is known as "The Lucky Duck." Residing at Gamahuche Lake - one of many fine tributaries abutting the Manor - he's famed for his superstitious beliefs. Yes, that clattering from the kitchen you heard last week was DeShawn, who routinely hurls and breaks dishes for good fortune. If you have flowers in your room, you already know that DeShawn will fervidly waddle forth and remove or add flowers from your vases, since there must be an even number. And I don't even need to remind you of the conniption fit he threw when Raincoaster forgot to wear polkadots to last New Years' Eve gala, as he'd ordered us all to do. 

But maybe there's something to his beliefs. Most ducks live to 5 or 6 years old - 10 years, tops - but DeShawn is a hale and hearty 27. Or maybe he's just smart. Yesterday, Tiana the Tiger was aiming to feast on Confit de Canard de la DeShawn. No such luck for Tiana, since DeShawn had just eaten 12 grapes for good luck. And Raincoaster? DeShawn has already ordered you this, so no excuses for next New Years' Eve!

Can you hear this painting like I can? Hone in on a conversation; what are they discussing? There's music playing; what does it sound like? There's an aroma in the air; what does it smell like? Who is your favorite guest? What's their name? What are they wearing? The little girl at the top of the stairs - what does she think of it all? Who are her parents? How long has she been there? Why is she there? How long until she's discovered and sent back to bed? Decades have passed; does she remember this night still? BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post? It's  RIGHT HERE .

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Joyous Etta Jones!

"What-whaaaaat, my bitches!" cries DJ Li'l Scratch at the Manor's "Tubesteak Lounge." Right now he's spinning Etta Jones. Yes, Jones.   Etta Jones is not Etta James (let's clear that up right away).  Have you heard of her? I hadn't until my bestest galpal introduced me to her years ago, and I've been hooked on her ever since. She's another one of those singers who was popular with the public for a wee bit, then forgotten, then rediscovered to a certain extent through YouTube and blog sites in the early 2000s. But she's never been forgotten by jazz aficionados. They've been devoted all along. Born in the 1920's and coming into her own professionally in the 40's and 50's, Etta endured long, grim years of struggle,  toiling at rough factory jobs during the day, then  performing at night with a 'who's who' of jazz performers. Years later, she partnered with sax legend Houston Person for nearly thirty years on t...
