I spent the day on my front porch finishing a painting for my dear friend and fan Bobbe Bales. I titled it "Radio Dreams" in honor of her support for my book and archiving project. I painted a still life of memories from my childhood and some that I wrote about in the book, the yellow radio which was my earliest childhood musical memory, the Broadman Hymnal, my mother's table cloth, my first writing book, a lyric from a song I wrote torn from the page of the book, the paper weight that's been on my writing desk for years. Outside the window are the cotton fields of West Texas Heaven Daddy Ray would drive me through with George Jones and Willie Nelson songs blasting from the dashboard of our newest used car. A million thanks Bobbe for helping make my Radio Dreams Project a reality! ... See MoreSee Less
