Sandra Boynton, cat chanteuse

Two days of close-to-normal activity levels have left me feeling pretty wiped out. I’ll definitely be taking it easy tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile…since I don’t have much bandwidth, I’m going to share another Sandra Boynton video. I’m loving these so much; I feel like I’ve stumbled onto a real treasure trove!

From the video description:
A world-weary yet passionate cat chanteuse sings from the heart (in French, of course). A soulful cello offers exquisite support. Semi-helpful subtitles are included. Song written, animated, and performed by Sandra Boynton, cello played by Yo-Yo Ma, piano played by Michael Ford. Plus there’s a surprise accordion cameo.

Embracing current reality

I spent many years — decades and decades — either performing for or attending musical events throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Area.

Starting in my teens and lasting until I moved first to Europe and eventually to Ananda Village, late nights were the rule and a wide variety of music venues were my most accustomed milieu.

But today I’m faced with the reality that all that is very much in the past. Last night’s hour and a half drive to Chico and then another hour and a half to get home again — on a weeknight, no less! — left me pretty much wiped out all day long.

The concert and the night out with friends was a lot of fun, but I’m fairly confident we won’t be in a hurry to repeat it.

Huh. Maybe this is how I know I’m getting old. 🤔
