Treasures from THE MUSIC COLLECTION at The Willing Mind. By exclusive arrangement with The Grand Review.  Print size 18 x24 and works beautifully with an 18 x 24 frame, or custom framed as you see fit.

From a surprisingly small and certainly rare piece of sheet music in our collection, we present Aznavour & Pierre Roche during their swinging' cabaret days as this large print, digitally restored with much love.  This particular number has been a fun go to for me and my beloved, and hit the turntable frequently as the kids grew up.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Instead of attempting a review of who and what Charles Aznavour is to the world, with your permission and indulgence, I spin this little yarn........

Aznavour....................  Yes, I saved Charles Aznavour from being crushed to death at the stage door behind a theater on Times Square in the mid 90s.  I had just seen his show and was such a fan that for the first and only time in my life I'd surrendered to being Stage Door Johnny.  There was no one else there, and I was as goofy as a kid as I waited for him.  My wife was at home with our new baby son, and on a shelf near them was our collection of Aznavour LPs, quite the fish story's worth, and all gleaned over the years from better thrift shops along Philadelphia's Main Line.

The door opened and there was my guy, just over 5 feet tall and I would venture not much heavier than 100 pounds. His manager, in a long black overcoat, was close on his heels.  In a flash I knew something was wrong because Charles was looking right past my friendly, grinning 6'7" fan self at SOMETHING, and the look was terror.  Having worked security at punk clubs and discos in New York, London and Philly, I used my Spidey Sense and turned quickly in a way that left them an escape route between my body and a gargantuan concrete pillar as I physically confronted a tsunami of surprisingly beefy late middle aged French Canadian Aznavour fans, big gals with foam frothing from steely grins and lightning shooting out of their crazy crazed eye sockets... all yelling SHAAAAAAAAAARL!  SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAARL!!!!

A few more broadly spinning steps, legs wide and arms blocking, I got them to the limo waiting at the curb, Charles Aznavour looking up at me in the most amazing combination of 'thank yo thank you' and WOT A FUKKIN NIGHTMARE', his old manager looking intensely into my eyes and squeezing my arm with steely fingertips while hissing a breathy benediction, his coat a swirl of black that seemed to pause in the air as he disappeared sideways into the limo, sucking in after him the way an octopus body moves into a crevass just in time to miss the snap of a toothy fish. 

Into the night and off to Moscow.  Oh, Charles, if we ever share a pint somewhere, I'll suffer you through my rendition of Boule De Gomme or, perhaps, Les Cris de Ma Ville.  As always, unless there is someone else taller than me in the room I remain, your biggest fan.

A NOTE ON OUR PROCESS, OUR CHOICES AND THE QUALITY OF THE GRAPHIC CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT GOES INTO OUR PRINTS.

Every print we deem exciting enough to present to the public via our Etsy store or available here at our studio has gone through a number of steps.  The first of those is always discovering and falling in love with an obscure image, always an original that we can hold in our hands.  That image is speaking to us, sometime screaming “Don’t leave me here.  See what I am, what I was, what I can be, what I SHOULD be!”

There is a real sense of excitement involved, and a great many smiles and knowing grins when we make that deal and bring that ancient print, that battered photo, that scrap of ephemera that contains some scrap of genius from an unknown commercial artist home with us, knowing already how we mean to approach its restoration.

There is the heady promise of a further hunt just as real as what drags a weekend fisherman out of bed at 3AM to work a favorite brook as we start our research, looking for that great backstory, and both ready and willing to tumble down as many rabbit holes as are revealed to us to get that story.

Then there is a meticulous digital restoration that is as often as much fun as riding a vintage Moto Guzzi on a winding coastal road.  I don’t care if that sounds crazy, it really is like jumping in the saddle!  So many choices, so many chances to take to subtly or spectacularly give new life to otherwise permanently obscure images.

This dedication and the ongoing rush of joy in the accomplishment of it, and the opportunity to share the results in our studio and here on Etsy, is the fire of passion that keeps these engines roaring. We make every effort to ensure our customers are not just satisfied but thrilled, and we happily stand 100% behind our work.

Charming little solar accent for the garden
This angel statue is absolutely adorable and adds a sweet touch to my front flower bed. The sculpted details are surprisingly refined for such a compact piece, and the solar panel charges well throughout the day to provide a gentle glow at night. The light isn't overly bright, but it creates a lovely ambient effect that's perfect for pathway edges or nestled among plants. The statue is smaller than I initially expected based on the photos, but that actually works in its favor—it's easy to tuck into various spots without overwhelming the space. I've had it outside for a few weeks now through some rain and wind, and it's held up beautifully with no fading or damage to the finish. The solar function has been consistent, lighting up reliably each evening. It's a thoughtful piece that would make a great gift, and the compact size means it works just as well on a small balcony as it does in a larger garden. If you're looking for a subtle, charming accent that requires no wiring or maintenance, this little angel statue is a winner.

Resin
This 8 inch tall resin angel will add the whimsy to your garden. It is solar powered to charge during the day so the butterfly will shine at night. Very durable and waterproof. This angel is very realistic with its wrinkles and dimples. I would recommend this cute little angel, but I feel it is a little overpriced.

Great product! Wish I had found it sooner!
Perfect solution for our umbrella stands! It is slightly taller than original pipe on stand (this is a plus!) Has two bolts instead of one (Another plus) to help secure the umbrella better. Has two rubber reducers to fill in gap around the umbrella pole. Only issue is the shank on the bolt is too long (bolt that secures pipe to base). Extra bolt was too short. We are purchasing another one for another umbrella stand. Great price for the product! And was easy to install, keeps the umbrella straight and upright!

Good quality, but likely holds water.
Good quality and was easy to install on base with two bolt lengths provided. I modifed by drilling a small hole through the base of the pole mount so that water can drain out. I have previously ended up with a rotten wooden umbrella pole because the pole mount held water!
