Thanks to all for voting on Album Challenge 71 and putting my stab at a Blues album in the winning spot. And thanks to Heidi @transatlantic99 for doing such a great job hosting it! I really liked the "twist" she added in, so I'm going to continue that.
Here's how the challenge works.
To get a title for your album you can choose one of two ways.
1) Go to http://quotationspage.com or wikkiquotes or any other quotation website for a "quote of the day". Your album title is the last 3 to 6 words of that quote.
OR
2) Heidi's twist was to supply you with a pre-selected quote. You could then choose any 3 to 6 consecutive words from that quote to make up your album title. So here's my pre-selected quote for you from Elliott Erwitt who is best known for photographing what he called the "decisive moment":
To me photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. I've found it has very little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
3) Next, choose your artist by going to Wikipedia and choosing the link for "Random Quote" on the top left side of the page. The first article that you get is the name of your musician or band.

4) Now find or take a photo that fits your artist and title. You are allowed to edit to your hearts content on this challenge so go for it! You can use any photo processing program you choose, but the photo(s) must be yours and it must be edited during the timeframe of the challenge. Remember, albums are square to crop your picture accordingly.
5) You can enter multiple entries on this challenge.
6) Tag your album cover albumcoverchallenge72
7) You can also post your album cover in this discussion thread if you'd like. Click on the three dots under your picture and then copy and paste the embed code in the comment box below. Your picture will appear in the discussion once you click on "post comment".
8) Album Cover Challenge 72 begins Thursday, November 24, 2016 and runs through Saturday, December 9, 2016 (12 midnight, EST). I will select the finalists and post them for voting on Sunday, December 10, 2016. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, December 13, 2016 and will have the honor of hosting the next album cover challenge.
I'm looking forward to see where your creativity takes you!
After you've been in a place for a while, everything starts to look... I won't say better, there's no need to go to extremes...but your everyday life does start to become...familiar.

You can't deny laughter; when it comes, it plops down in your favorite chair and stays as long as it wants.
