Tuba on the tub

California. A musician friend was playing somewhere outside of L.A. A girl with a tuba, hooked me into listening to the music. Observing. This beautiful woman, supporting this enormous instrument. To me it seemed at once heavy, beautiful, tender and sexy. Much time went by, almost three years. I was having a scotch in New York in an Irish bar next to Linda's apartment. While in conversation with a woman, all of a sudden I had an idea ...the tuba, in a tub. You're crazy,,, I thought. I told this to the woman, Deborah. To her it seemed crazy, and fun. The Stage. Hollywood Hills. Three women with musical instruments. Heat, a lot of heat for the end of April. The bathroom was fantastic, oval with urquoise tiles. The girls ...beautiful, very interesting. The incredible instruments. They played and had a good time, and I painted the thing of beauty. Now the memories of something beautiful create a bridge across these days of sadness.
