My avatar is just a picture of a woman in a white fedora. I was writing a lyric to a 40s-style ballad titled "The Girl in the White Fedora" and I realized I wasn't entirely sure what a fedora looked like. My husband found that photo for me and it was handy when I joined here.
I think I'll go look for something a little more meaningful now... (And maybe something that doesn't confuse other posters into thinking I'm a woman.)

Honest. I knew you were a dude. A composer? A lyricist? Anything out there commercially for purchase?
Mine was unintentional. It was from a benefit I saw Sara Ramirez at in 2010. She was walking off stage & I forgot that my camera was zoomed in so much. It turned out great though.

If my name is Someone in a Tree, then my avatar has to be Boris Aaronson's collage-sketch of that very tree for PACIFIC OVERTURES, the one whose "branches" unfolded like a Japanese fan and that little Gedde Watanabe clambered up onto to "Tell us what you see!"
And regarding Gaveston-- I concur with all those who wrote: "I wish you'd consider keeping (your avatar), gaveston. I've always loved it,plus I associate it with you."
Thank you for asking. The image to the left is an early concept design by David Edward Byrd for the original production of FOLLIES, which most readers know is a show that I obsess on. This design was requested by Hal Prince when he found Byrd's first design "too dykey". Prince wanted tits and blond hair, totally against the era of the Follies. Byrd was aghast, but delivered. The good news is that out of his frustration came the final design we all know and love. David calls this his "Dolly Parton" poster.
