It is day 4 of the A to Z Challenge. Today’s inspired pencil sketch was originally used for the letter C in 2017 but since I used another it was easy fix as baby chicks are referred as diddies. Did you ever call them this? When I was little that’s the only term I knew them by for many years. One long ago memory I have is in the spring how a family friend’s grandkid close to my age, my little brother, and I would chase the diddies in our grandparents’ yard. Once we sprinted toward them, they would go into a zillion different directions and could change the way they were headed fast as the wind. We tried super hard to catch one but never, ever did. In the end, it just left us totally exhausted and empty handed.
At this point, I try to find music that works with my art theme. The only ‘diddies’ that yielded an artist hit was P. Diddy. I’m not a rap fan so I decided to use a song instead, “Doo Wah Diddy” by Manfred Mann.
Every time I hear this song, I’m always reminded the scene from the 80s TV show, “Moonlighting” where David Addison (Bruce Willis) sings the chorus to Matey Haze (Cybil Shepard). I’m heading over to the A2Z headquarters to leave my calling card and maybe I’ll take notice to see who else came to the party. Thanks for being visiting. This is CAAC signing off, I’ll be back tomorrow with the next letter in the alphabet!
