Song title, album title, or artist...and guess it could be spawned off the lyrics of the 80s, too. Before I could begin, I had to find out what the music of the 80s included. After all these decades, the years run together. Most of the songs and artists didn't even ring a bell.
I'll be out of town five of the seven days. While volunteering at a monastery in southern Indiana, I'll be converting old audio tapes to MP3s. The editing skills are not part of my repertoire, but they said they'd train me. While I'm there, doubt there'll be much time or photo ops that represent this era's music. May not come up with the dozen I'd hoped to capture each week. Actually, I make the rules for my own Smug gallery, so may continue adding until I reach that number. When I made my selection to be posted on the ETown Smug site, I only had five pictures. At that point, had a tough time deciding between the wall and the conversation hearts.
Candle in the Wind was recorded by Elton John and has been revered by fans during several decades. Originally released in 1973, a live version with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra was released in 1986, and in 1997 he recorded a version dedicated to Princess Diana after she was killed in a car accident. Elton also dedicated the song to Ryan White, a child who died from AIDS the next day, when he sang it at Farm Aid IV in 1990.
I used CS6's Smudge Tool to make it look as if the flame was blowing in the wind. The song actually is more about the wind blowing the candle out, but an unlit candle didn't make a good photo. I learned that if I intend to move pixels with that tool, it would be better for the background to be plain.
