The holiday’s are supposed to be an upbeat time, yet for several friends and associates they’re all dealing with sudden deaths and loved ones who are staying with those who may die soon. Not very much fun for a holiday thing. Then the news comes out yesterday that music icon Ike Turner left the world.
Even though Ike Turner is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before my time I still know who he is. He’s written some huge hits and worked with some amazing singers. He was once married to Tina Turner in a tumultuous relationship. There was also a movie about it. And of course being a music freak who loves movies, I’ve seen it.
Ike had an affection for pretty women. Who doesn’t? Who’d be willing to bet that he’d have been attracted to Saleisha Cooper who was crowned America’s Next Top Model last night? I had to google to find that out. There is no doubt that she’s quite pretty. I thought I’d share that, because that sorta turns it to an upbeat concept.
So lets set the mood for cozy. Cozy is good for Christmas. So pull up a love seat with your special someone, pop some popcorn, and maybe nice glass of something warm to drink. Sit back an relax with this little ditty that I call Christmas To Unwind which seems to be the order of the day with all the crazy stuff going on.
It’s sparse. It’s bare. It’s naked. It’s warm. It’s inviting. It poses a number of emotions for people, or so I’m told. Thus I figured it was a good time to share. My sympathies go out to all my friends dealing with tough times, much like Ike Turner’s family. It’s not supposed to be the time of year to deal with that. So enjoy and may it brighten your day!
