Inspired by the full lyrics to "Carioca" (*Blue Carioca*) by Michael Nesmith from his 1979 album "Infinite Rider On The Big Dogma." Nesmith was a quirky individual and on this album his quirkiness was displayed in part by every song having a one-word-title followed by a multi-word subtitle. I am using the fact of the sub-title as my "creative license and justification" to include it in @CaylaCatz challenge! https://youtu.be/7l13RH8RVkQ?si=FAe1ytJbdvhYRlG4

About this image

A dreamlike fantasy artwork featuring a couple dancing on a reflective shoreline under a luminous crescent moon. Rich blue tones, swirling light trails, and ethereal elements create a magical romance mood with celestial sparks and shimmering reflections.

Michael Nesmith was more famous for the band he was part of, The MONKEES. But he was also far and away the most successful of the group on his own!

@paulie He was one of the Monkees??? Wow! I didn't know his voice was that cool. That's pretty awesome.

Yep, he was the more serious/stoic one. Often wearing a wool hat. And... his mother invented Liquid Paper!

I used to work in an office in my 20s. That liquid paper was a godsend before wordprocessors came out. That is so cool his mom invented it

Love the image! I don't think I've ever heard of Nesmith and that's a crying shame because he has an amazing voice. Thank you!

Your art is beautiful, and the rhythm of the track makes me feel like I could just start dancing. Thank you.
