To concentrate on her healing, The Queen of Comedy Harmonica Sunbeam has gone on hiatus from her legendary stint as the hostess of Escuelita’s Sunday Tea Dance. She also has a blog, so you can comment and leave your best wishes.

I would like to sell some art to fund a very specific need she has. I’m offering 11x14 digital c-prints for $50 to the first 10 people who respond. You may choose from any of my photos.

And the new chat function lets you send instant messages without leaving your browser - very sweet! Don’t already have an account to the invite-only service? Well, leave a comment and I’ll see what I can do …

This is the first track I’ll be moving to when I get back to whatever exercise regimen I choose sometime within the next couple of weeks.
