So....I had a vision in my mind for something like 30 years....I started with my fascination with CCR songs and the lyrical images of the swamps, bayous,etc...I have always wanted to get the vsion painted.

one day, I went to ebay to see if I could find something similar...and there was a guy selling water colors of haunted houses..seems that if you send him a pic of your house, he makes it into a haunted house painting...pretty cool stuff.

So, I emailed him...explained what I wanted....back and forth we went...he was close to understanding but not fully...so I emailed him telling him to go listen to the song "Born On A Bayou"...he had never heard of it...he's an oldster...even older than cbz :D

I never spoke to him directly...only via email.

Long story short...

the "John" he refers to in his write up is me.

Best part of the story, I found out that although he now lives 2500 miles from me...he grew up about five minutes from where I now live.

Pretty cool stuff.

I see a bad moon rising in that pic:thumbup:

Quite! That's why she got the cover of National Geographic all those years ago (I think it was that magazine)....you know a reporter went looking for her many years later, and found her! She was married with a couple or three kids, poor, and obviously had lived a hard life. But she still had those haunting eyes...they actually talked her into taking her face veil off for a photo, though she was highly reluctant. She also had absolutely no idea how famous she had become, nor that she ever was on that cover.

I saw that on a National Geographic TV channel program some time back...
