Irma Thomas at Shreveport Red River "Leadbelly" festival, 1986


this one drawn whilst waiting in my taxi one morning.....i met a man who i flew with in vietnam.....he was my loadmaster, retired and then became the manager of a macdonalds downtown shreveport.....i remember him riding the back ramp like a surfboard one time when we were taxiing the plane.....he also "served" on c-123's doing chemical defoliation.....and i had refused duty and was a cab driver and made this lonely quiet drawing in 1983.


i wandered around the railroad yards down the hill from my apartment in shreveport and made this drawing. lonesome times, 1985.

My favourite from these three is the middle one. The desolate street scene.

For some reason I can imagine walking along that street, hands in jacket pockets, early morning walking home from a night getting drunk in a smokey bar with a great jukebox. But still, walking home sad, alone despite the pretty good night.

sometimes the unsensational can reveal.
