Heegh ! Good God !


I know it has been over a full month since I have posted anything. I have not disappeared or anything, it is that this was the first Christmas season that I have operated without a store front shop and a full staff. That did not stop the 173 customers for photo restorations that I had from Thanksgiving weekend until Dec 24th. I did not even see the Christmas season. I was stuck in my Restoration "Hole" as the kids call it repairing and restoring other peoples lost and fading family memories. I have been known as The Image Doctor for 26 years now and really enjoy restoring photographs. In the last 4 weeks I have worked on 319 different photos from color snapshots to 145 year old Daguerreotypes. Over the next 2 weeks I will be in hiding, spending some money and recharging. Mid January should see the NEW Image Doctor Web site. Disks 1 and 2 of my DVD series for sale on line on the new site and other stuff.
But that is not why I am posting today. Many of you that know me or follow my blog know that I love music. My son and I snuck out of town a few weeks ago to go to Canada to see one of my favorite bands "The Who" and it was a great trip. But today I am remembering one of my favorite performers who died here in Atlanta this morning. The Godfather of Soul, The Grand Master of Funk, Soul Brother Number One, The Hardest Working Man in Show Business Mr James Brown. I have seen him live several times over the last 20 years and was even listening to his Christmas album the other day. (Yes he had a Christmas Album ) It was not Bing Crosby I promise you, but it was a funky kind of change.
So James, Good Bye, I will try to continue to work as hard at what I love as you did.
HEEGH !!!!!
Does anyone know how to spell Heegh ! ? As in Heegh ! Ighhhhh!, Good God ! I want to Jump Back and Kiss Myself!
