My Sharona by The Knack:2005 in Japan.


Still one of my favourite songs. Sadly, the lead singer:Doug  Freyer passed on recently, due to lung cancer.

However,Doug achieved immortality with this song. I still remember watching it in 1979 on Top of the Pops. The audience at the time, were the most miserable group of people I've ever seen. Only one chap amongst them, danced his heart out to the song, whilst the others just stood there sullenly.

Still,I always enjoy it.

The End Of The Japanese Battleship Yamato - World Documentary Films HD





World War 2 Naval Aviation has always interested me,especially battles between the US Pacific Fleet and the Imperial Japanese Navy.



I have to admit I enjoyed watching this,as the American air power totally overwhelmed the largest battleship ever built;The mighty 'Yamamoto'



Even so,I fully agreed with one of the American pilots who helped to sink the 'Yamamoto',as he said he had mixed feelings over this.On the one side,he said he felt satisfaction that he'd helped to succeed in the mission.Yet,he also felt sadness that he knew a lot of the young Japanese crew on the 'Yamamato' did not survive.



Out of a crew of over 2000,only 200 survived.

Latest commission from Nightwing 1975.

A new picture I just got from Nightwing 1975,an excellent artist I found on the Deviant Art website.


I liked this one, as I had asked him to do me another version of Tamlyn Tomita, a very beautiful actress from the tv show:J.A.G.

This time, I just asked to see her character dressed,in a cruise ship uniform.
