How in the world do you know Leslie Hall!

Yes, it's true, my nephew couldn't believe it when he saw the Leslie Hall video by my DVD player and her picture on the fridge. That's she & I (yes I know Bono stole this look from me) for those of you who don't know who she is just google Leslie Hall or check out Amoeba Records website for a sample of her music. Leslie was one of my students back at SMFA, not one who attended classes all that regularly. Her brother helped Holly & I drive the truck full of our possessions out here to Taos about 8 years ago. Well that first Spring we were here less than a month, when Leslie & Laura showed up in Taos. We had been out for the day and when we returned home the TV was on, I started to say how in the world did Rosie the cat figure out how to turn the Television on when Leslie & Laura popped up from the couch. Now how they found where we lived and how they got into the house was a bit dicey at best, but here they were and it was great to see familiar faces here in Taos. Someplace in my photo archives I've got a picture of her Mom and sister with HH, Holly & I having dinner together after HH graduation from SMFA, and more pictures from her Sponge Bob themed Birthday party outside taking wacks at a Pinata, me blindfolded and swinging away, (that's my painting in the foreground).

To me these are the 2 best videos and rather infectious, they've cheered me up a lot, thanks Leslie, maybe we can get you out here to Taos sometime soon and perform at Two Graces, wouldn't that be FUN. Leslie was performing recently at Art Basel Miami, there is some video online of this performance, AMAZING. We're proud of you and perhaps a bit frightened!
