What Fresh Hell is this?

The '60s aren't over; they won't be over until the Fat Lady gets high.

True Story

I met the cats at the Texaco, US301 just out side of Waldo.

(Where's Waldo?)

These young people were not there, but they got the Idea, given out that day.

What is wrong with this picture?

Stoker

Blues Man, New Orleans .
At the French Quarter Music Festival.
Every thing his owns in on the bike.
He plays and sings like every blues man you've ever heard.
All Of Them, the ones who have passed over, all trying to have one last say.
He is Something Else.


It sounds much better than it looks. I first saw it last year with a broken head and I thought, "that guitar is broken". I was right. As I listened and looked closer, it stayed broken.
So this year I find him still playing that instrument, but in a greater state of abuse. Turns out, it has been through a fire this past year. The plastic bag it was in, to keep the rain off, melted during the fire and Stoker decided to let it stay. Another layer of lacquer. The head has been glued and taped back together and plays well.



I don't know how it got the ash to stay put, but it did.
I think that is electrician's tape.



I wonder if the dust is a big contributor to the sound.

All you need in life is ignorance and confidence, then success is sure.
Mark Twain

Ponce de Leon was confident he had found the fountain of youth. Ignorant to any other truth. In a cosmic form perhaps he did. These buildings are rebuilt every few decades and the young families bring their off spring to see the way it was back in the day. Like really back in the day.


Like a blacksmith's shop in a wooden building.

Did someone say supper. Come on now the light is fading.

Eat fast them, mosquitoes'll carry it off.

You can step through that window on the left and be on St. George Street.

Main drag through town.

Mr,. Flagler and his hotels, big time, 'til the damn Hurricane. Who know that f**&^%g bridge would deflect water and wipe out an entire population of that key. 'How did they get there?' On your train big boy.

Is a nice looking building. Use to be a shambles with the freak show Ripley's Believe it or Not. Now it has been brought back. Still has the Freak show.

Flager Built a railroad and a hurricane 1905 kicked his ass, and he never came back to the state. Rich are rich and poor are poor.
