The Woodland Garden (Monday 23rd January 2023)

After a quick tour of the garden taking pictures at lunchtime I settled on this frosted lichen on a stone near to the small pond for this Mono Monday blip, whose theme this week is 'Up and/or Down'. The cotinus leaf just happened to be there.
Yesterday's glazed pot is very slowly thawing.
With thanks to Skeena for Mono Monday.

Woodland Garden (January 2023) (Work in progress)

Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Doris Troy - Just One Look (recorded 5 March 1963, New York NY)
To British audiences the song Just One Look is probably best known by the Hollies, with Alan Clarke's lead vocal, as they had the hit with it in 1964, but in America it was a big Top Three hit for Doris Troy, and there was also a version of it on Martha and the Vandellas album Heatwave later in 1963.
I have been playing the magazine cover CD from the current Mojo, Us And Them - A Pink Floyd Companion, which includes this marvellous track, the connection being Doris Troy having sung on the album Dark Side Of The Moon.
"I'd writtenJust One Look  and needed to make a demo. Well the demo got made, and it was the demo that was released", she said, "We'd taken the demo to Atlantic to sell the song, and as soon as they heard it they flipped and said they'd rush release it at once. I was on the road at the time touring with Chuck Jackson who was big then, and since I had no time to go in the studio and re-record it they issued the record straight off the demo-dub I'd had made. Wasn't that a bitch? Well, the record took off so damn fast that it sold like crazy, and it was really lucky for me to be touring at the same time since Atlantic were able to arrange all sorts of promotional stints and interviews to tie in with the local radio stations where I was visiting."
The personnel on the record include Horace Ott on piano, Snags Allen on guitar, Barney Richmond on bass, and Bruno Carr on drums.
