I’ve been really working on my art work these days and don’t have that much time to Blog or work on any pages. I have two shows coming up in February and trying to have some new art to show. I am still showing in Rock Port and not sure where it will be shown afterwards.

I’ve been reading a great naval -The Falls written by Carla Neggers. It’s a great story and been enjoying it very much. The classification for her Navels is romance but it has a mystery and action in it and that is what I like about them. They always have The FBI, cops and/or military person in the story. I’ve spoking to her on her Blog and it keeps us informed on what is new and what’s coming up.

Some of my favorites in literature are Jack London, Tomas Wolfe, Hemingway, and some others that are more modern writers like Dan Brown and Carla Neggers. There is nothing like Reading a good book on a cold winter day or any time of the year really. A good classic is always a good choice or a writer that you enjoy. There’s one that comes to mind that I always enjoyed is called -The greatest Hunt that is one that is a classic and a great one to read. What makes a great writer like Hemingway and the others that I mentioned? A talent and insight to put into wards, and compostions that build a story. There are not to many like the Hemingway and Jack London and those like the old masters of art is a great gift to us.

 

Here is a video of the great classic, which I remember as a Teenager. Oh, Yes the great 1970's! Drive inn Movies of 1970's as a Teenager. I miss going to the drive inns and we did go a lot. As a kid going with my parents in the 1960's. With our Pop corn and pillows. That's the great thing about the drive inns, the big screen and the sound form the speakers that you hook onto the car. Some of the movies I first seen in the drive inns: Bambe -as a very young age of course -Dawn of the dead, Planet of the Apes and many others that for some reason are just a blur *Grin* :) I could go on and on with this list. Do you remember A&W drive inn restaurants? With the Root beer floats and the great Hot dogs and Hamburgers? Ok so now I did my writing and got is all out and I feel better now. Here is the video.

 

 

If you can't understand the lyrics here they are:

Lryics to Night Moves -Bob Seger.

I was a little too tall Could've used a few pounds Tight pants points hardly reknown She was a black haired beauty with big dark eyes And points all her own sitting way up high Way up firm and high

Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy Workin' on mysteries without any clues Workin' on our night moves Trying' to make some front page drive-in news Workin' on our night moves in the summertime In the sweet summertime

We weren't in love oh no far from it We weren't searching for some pie in the sky summit We were just young and restless and bored Living by the sword And we'd steal away every chance we could To the backroom, the alley, the trusty woods I used her she used me But neither one cared We were getting our share

Workin' on our night moves Trying to lose the awkward teenage blues Workin' on our night moves In the summertime (Sweet summertime, summertime) And oh the wonder Felt the lightning And we waited on the thunder Waited on the thunder

I woke last night to the sound of thunder How far off I sat and wondered Started humming a song from 1962 Ain't it funny how the night moves When you just don't seem to have as much to lose Strange how the night moves With autumn closing

Oh yes!! Good old days drive inns and being a free teenager in the great 1970's!
