BEFORE THE SUNSET – with the Sun Song Quiz

bts1

The lady saw me walk onto the middle of the street with my phone out, and said to Ed “he’s taking a picture of the sunset” in that universal “that’s so sweet” tone of voice.

Except it wasn’t quite the sunset.  It was the bright low sun right before the sunset and how it effected our street that captured my camera curiosity all the way down the block.

So I will share these pics via my new Arts-a-Poppin’ photophile category and include another one of my “patented” music quizzes, hints tucked away in the tags below.

Enjoy.

Sun Song #3 – Before they hit it big with a Disco classic, this scrappy New York City Punk band went “In the Sun”.

Sun Song #9 – It takes a while, you got to get through the smells of laboratories, a dying nation of moving paper fantasies, a spider web sitar, the future on films in space, but then….
