Steve Tyrell at the Catalina in Hollywood

Had a really great time seeing Steve Tyrell at the Catalina..'Standard Time' is such a perfect CD for the American Songbook. Steve and Bill Claxton were very best friends, Steve performed at Bill's LA County Museum Memorial. Photography and Music have always been close friends.

Wouldn't you know, my D300 batteries were undercharged and I finished up with a point and shoot!
