@LESLIE: Thanks, Les. Nah, you aren't getting old but Joe is getting up there. Despite his age he sounded wonderful. His voice was as raw and powerful as ever. I saw him at Ravinia near Chicago. It's an outdoor theater and we usually just buy lawn tickets. Everyone packs dinner and drinks and brings their blankets, chairs, candles, etc and sets up on the lawn and we hang out all night under the stars. It was a good time.

I think it's great. The dof is wonderful and so is the B&W. The expression on her face shows through even though half her face is covered with hair. Well done.

Barbara from Florida, United States

I like the spontanaity of this, goes well in B&W, great dof.
Joe Cocker? Wow! Is he still around. I saw him many years ago at Cobo Hall, Detroit, when he was at the height of his career.
What memories to see him again.

@Barbara: Isn't it sad when you can't even remember if someone is still around or if you have to ask, "Is he alive or dead?" :) Joe is still around but he is getting up 'there' Thanks for the comment, Barbara!
