Jackson square… New Orleans..

I am painting about a million paintings of, for now, old blues guys…they make me happy…

I have maybe a dozen done , shooting for 100…maybe not all blues guys…

my yard sale plans are now for mid October..weather then is generally real good here..in Memphis.

and as far as I know I will be in Oxford, ms for the motel art show in October too..I used to be very popular there but times change…don’t they.?

tv viewing…I watched the BBC tv show Celebrity Antiques Road Trip…I think I watched it for  a whole week..

im watching Mrs Maisel , now ,a lot…great dialogue , sets and characters…I love shows about New York Jews,,,

I’m looking for a place to play my music….locally…in places that are unlikely to be shot up …if any exist…bring back Amy Weirich… !… Old 60s songs..some Dead stuff…lots of Dylan..and if nobody is there just play Django instrumentals…I play 2 hours… that’s enough for me..all this business of the 4 hour gig needs to get somewhere..!…

 

I am painting orders for people after a month of not being productive… I played guitar and sang a lot of songs instead.

I’m having a yard sale in June—- watch here for details..

im supposed to be returning to the Motel Art  Show in Oxford in October… watch here for details..I’m excited to see if it’s changed…Well..not excited but curious..it was always fun….

in the event of my death, these things won’t be happening..,,,,you get this old, every day is a surprise..

youtube gratefulDead 1968 San Francisco Carousel 3/16/68 show…..great sound…great playing…

some of Garcia,s best guitar sounds… he was playing the 1952Les Paul Goldtop,,,Dark Star…wow…and China Cat Sunflower has a power it lost later..double wow…the tone of that guitar…!

Having a Bluetooth speaker  has  saved me from buying dead shows that just plain sucked…

I think late 1969 they were having bad problems….money or whatever….it’s reflected…I saw them in September 1969…..yawn…But they coulda been road tired..

here Garcia displays  his rare combo …. Hiawatha-Afro hair  style….

 

 

 

 

 

 

Me myself I …. I’m quitting painting for a while%%%….I have a couple of orders to do —- first..so don’t panic if that is you..

im having tremendous website problems..

I’m tired of all this…

my website keeps locking me out…

my brain which was pretty good at math:::it can’t deal with editing websites and getting new passwords..

I just go blank…..

I got a guy from godaddy to kinda help me..god bless him….

but I’m lost again…I think old age is kicking in..

bigtime..it hurts me.

.

I’m glad I read Moby Dick during the epidemic… I’d never get thru it now..

have a great day…. I’ll be busy tying my  shoes…

 

I’ve been swamped with orders….people bought all my new paintings..….then chicken place  people bought all I had left..I got nothing….im cleaned out …I’m clean….ready to be dried off and fed…I’d really like a cup of them Kwik Check noodles..

 

i had a new Roy Orbison but they took that one too…dang..!

He was the greatest……

I’ve got about 35 or 40 framed new 11 x 14 paintings…. If you need one , you can come by my place and look… most of them are 150 dollars…they are all good…I’ve got everybody from Jerry Garcia to the late Queen Elizabeth.  ..
