More happy musicians! Happy musicians all the time!

I want to vote for Hammershoi, but I am going against my own inclinations because MORE HAPPY MUSICIANS!

Hals.

I like them both! Even though Hammershoi's texting woman was way ahead of its time, I'm going to vote for happy musicians by Hals.

Hammershoi is new to me, and I like him a lot. But Hals is one of my all-time favorites.

Michael5000 said...

Oh, VERY good Ben!

Yeah, I really love the austere moodiness of Hammershoi, but still have to give it to Hals.

We've got a vote-by-mail for Hammershoi.

Now, THAT's a contest, as Franz Hals overcomes a zero-four deficit to win by a single vote! Of course, these things always seem more fun when you are on the side of the winner -- but in this case, I am!

Thanks for voting, no matter whom you picked.
