Brr! It's cold, and a few snow flurries are coming down from the sky. Are you out there, Sunday Stampers? Good, let's get going.
Today's theme is singers. I remember the time I had Music as a theme and I learned about Fado, about which I knew nothing. I am looking forward to learning more this week.
I have two stamps to share from the US Postal Service.
The amazing Ray Charles, and
The Man in Black, Johnny Cash.
These scans are from the USPS, as I don't have these stamps actually in hand. I plan on ordering them soon. I also plan on ordering some controversial stamps! More on that in a few weeks.
Theme next week: unusually shaped or oversized stamps (by suggestion)
Theme two weeks from now: Christmas or holiday stamps.

I thought I didn't have anything with singers, but then I remembered Elvis.
WELL YOU BEAT ME TO IT. I could only come up with Elvis myself. I didn't have the stamp around but check out my beach towel.
Those are very nice stamps, especially the Johnny Cash. Why is there a line through forever?
I wonder what it would have been like if they had sung together, pity it can't happen now. I especially like the moody Johnny Cash one.
Two great artists well deserving to be honoured on a stamp.
I haven't seen these on any cards I've received recently. They remind me of the Miles Davis-Edith Piaf issue. Maybe it's just the black background.
Lisa B: the line is through forever so that you can't print this out and have it become a legal stamp.
It is a forever stamps b/c it will always be valid, even if the fisrt class postage goes up (as it always does).
I'm curious about controversial stamps...
