What's your desktop background/wallpaper?

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

I've just changed my desktop wallpaper, which made me wonder about other people's.

Here's the old one - Blue Mitchell scanned a long time ago from the cover of True Blue

And here's the new one; one of my favourite paintings, by John Martin - "Mad" Martin - which I found on the web a short while ago.

It's not quite the right shape, which accounts for the black bits at top & bottom, which are where my icons and that blue bar at the bottom go. The title is "In the great day of his wrath". My wife prefers this one.

What have you got?

OK, it's sorta like this, except my desktop only shows the hands and the guitar. They have a real nice high resolution version too.

note the very cool tail piece and bridge.

I got my current desktop theme from Tom Marcello's thread here:

No glasses, no derby hat this time. But the cigar is on!

It's cool, though it don't swing.

Unfortunately, it misses big hunks of the world.

Edit: Sorry, this is a screensaver, rather than background. My background is rotating photos I took back in the 70s and 80s: Chet, Moody, Woody H, Pony Poindexter, Earl Hines, Clark T, Zoot...and me.

Mine is a shot I took while selling Mosaics on eBay of one of our cats posing next to the Lee Morgan Blue Note set.

A bit late to reply to this but yes, it's good. Typical Clarke/Boland/Sadi fayre of the period and - as per usual - well recorded by SABA. I like it (wish I could find a vinyl).

Damn that Sadi is probably great.

I have a recent picture of my wife, with a light crop of newly grown head hair, standing in our backyard (which she loves, in front of the pecan tree the woodpickers have a nest in).
