This lighthearted, lyrical painting of a bright pink cello, grand piano and daffodils alludes to the song, These Foolish Things, by Londoner Eric Maschwitz with music by jack Strachey, copyright 1936. It was famously recorded by Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and many more. The line, "These foolish things remind me of you, First daffodils, And long excited cables...." is the inspiration for the imagery.
