HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM HAWKINS

When we were staying with our friends Roger and Nina Pitkin in St. Augustine this past week, I was introduced to a new (to me) YouTube celebrity, Amira Willighagen. She has an absolutely beautiful voice. The following clips are arranged chronologically from a performance at age 9, when she performed publicly for the first time at a “Holland Has Talent” contest, to just about the present. Enjoy!

If you are interested and have time, you can see a documentary on YouTube of Amira’s career at https://youtu.be/hHvDyd8Txd8.

I have also enclosed a clip for the TT guys that depicts the difference between Formula 1 auto racing pit stops in the 50s and 2013. Interesting!

Last, but not least, I have attached a short clip of a white peacock. I’ve never seen one before.
