A sketch of Miles Davis notable because of the orientation of his trumpet. For all of Miles expressed racism (in context, "racism" isn't the right word, but close) and bravado he was intensely shy on stage (like Donald Fagan of Steely Dan). Miles would often orient the bell of the horn down, and when he really got cookin', he assumed the now historic pose of playing crouched over, with the bell of his horn between his legs, and typically not facing the audience, but turned to either side. Like Fagan, he would sometimes play an entire show to the back of the stage.

He is a hero in my book. I have read much about his life and times, and I relate to him, and some of his views (not racial) on many planes. I wish I had a fraction of his musical ability, but I don't. So I live vicariously through his music and play "air trumpet" on occasion, much to the delight of my son, the accomplished musicians who thinks I look like an ass when I do so.

It's Daigoro, from "Lone Wolf and Cub", a classic series of Japanese graphic novels originally published in the 1970s. It's about a former samurai executioner who travels Edo-period Japan. He pushes his three-year old son (Daigoro) in a baby cart tricked out with weapons of different sorts, taking on assassination jobs. All the while he's being hunted down by his wife's killers.

I'm about 17 volumes into the 28 volume series now. It's really an incredible piece of work. Great illustrations, gripping stories, and a wide variety of characters - ninjas, samurai, actors, corrupt officials, prostitutes, grieving widows, peasants - you name it. It's a terrific history lesson too.

Daigoro doesn't say very much, but he is just the coolest character in so many ways - totally unfazed by the bloody nature of his father's work (in fact, at times he takes part in the assassinations), but longing for something more - tenderness, love. I am just so taken with this story. If you have any kind of tolerance for blood and guts (there's plenty of that too), this is very compelling.
