Pinterest Music & Fashion

My pins on Pinterest are fairly consistent to current interest but eclectic just the same, such as on Set List.

In this launch edition of Pinterest Music & Fashion, I am highlighting a trending pin shared from Set List long ago.  The pin is a still image shot of "Rio" as performed live from London.

Let's bring the image to life with Duran Duran's concluding song to a magical night a long time ago -

Is There Something i Should Know?

Dear readers and passersby,

As you can tell, I have been rather MIA in the past week.  Although I did not intend to neglect Set List - of course I would not - my physical health got the better of me and I was hospitalized for six days with a serious strain of pneumonia and respiratory scare.  I am home now but am on temporary oxygen care.  Luckily, this will not prevent me from working...which means back to Set List!

With that said, play it now and I will catch you tomorrow!  :)
