Description
Acrylic on canvas, 16x20 inches.Circa 1989...
Rarely, rarely, comest thou, Spirit of Delight!
Wherefore hast thou left me now
Many a day and night?
Many a weary night and day
βTis since thou art fled away...
P.B. Shelley
Thanks for looking

This is so ironically humorous, I just had to favorite it!

Dude it's a bidet. I had to say it. Did you ever have one? We did. First in the 80s we had one that was separate from the toilet, sitting right next to it. There's a photo of me as a 3 year old, naked except for my knickers, sitting right in it and splashing at the fountain. We then upgraded to the inbuilt Toto... that was my dad's though. We don't have a bidet here in the US 
I can't get over the loveliness of her legs. You've lit them beautifully. They look like porcelain

Honestly, I was thinking more Balboa than bidet, but then who knows how the head works (no pun intended)...
Never had a bidet, but I can see one in my future...
Legs are right up there with hair, in terms of painting pleasure

She looks ready to liquor up just in celebration of owning a bidet, finally.

I had to say it... I had to say it.
My knees sweat when I laugh. Is that a problem?

I like the letter "H" shape in the back of the knees. Purdy.

Not sure which is better, the painting, or Janet's comment

I vote for Janet's comment

Can't help starring at her legs - they're beautiful.

Good painting, but I always hated the word "thou" so can't really comment any further.

And it's Irn-Bru in the bottle. You heard it here first.

most will think that's beer - but i am thinking piss

we were taught on rescue - that if you needed a 'steril' liquid - ( like if the victim was burned and you needed moisture ) .. you could use your piss
thank the goddess - i never had to piss on a charred body - ( how surreal )

Well technically the charred body pissing on you would be more surreal...

I used to sing that with my father's bluegrass band

I believe he's passed through. He used to ride his Harley back and forth from here to the Navy base in Frisco (does anyone call it "Frisco" anymore?). My mom made that trip a few times as well

We have a town actually called "Frisco" out here, so San Fran just confuses us...
Bluegrass was still fiercely popular out here as of the late 70s, early 80s-- Jimmy Ibbotson of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band ate free at every restaurant...

My dad's band was the "house band" at the Ghost Town amusement park (near Asheville). There was also a one man band fellow named Panhandle Pete [link] , and his son who played the organ with his feet...

There's an album, and a few photographs...
The main thing I remember about that summer was Bobby Kennedy's funeral - and the fact Spider Man came on every Sunday morning...

Bobby Kennedy was my first political hero; Spider Man, too, is a priority...
Are you able to play bluegrass? Have you messed around with a banjo? I know, I can't believe I asked that either
π: 0 β©: 1
I rebelled against the whole bluegrass thing. My dad tried to teach me, but I wanted none of it. That fiddle made my neck hurt.
Making Movies is a masterpiece. Tunnel Of love gives me chills to this day. If someone wanted a perfect example of tasteful and understated guitar playing, there's none better.
Those videos are top notch as well. Rest in peace Jayzik Azikiwe (Skateaway girl)

I'd written that band off as one hit wonder material with "Sultans Of Swing"-- Making Movies remains one of my favorite albums; I'm one of the few fans of "On Every Street", too-- and their first two are also great vinyl.

For some reason the second lp has never really stuck with me, in spite of repeated hearings. At any rate I was right there with him up until "Twisting by the Pool". Damned 80s

Grim little ep, that was!

I'll have to check that one out...
I always hated it when he expanded the group beyond the original lineup. Brady Bunch + Oliver, you know. Odd how at 4AM that's a very apt comparison

I'll tell ya, their appearance on the show Fridays to promote Making Movies really was one of the signature moments for that period of music for me-- really one of the most toweringly important musical periods for my own life, at any rate... GANJO!

Yeah, I have that rotten Ricky Seagull lp somewhere. Bonaduce said that the whole cast were gagging every time the kid sang. Not that Bonaduce can talk. His lp is nothing to write home about...
I somehow missed DS on Fridays. The ones that stand out for me were The Clash, Rockpile, Capt Beefheart, and Devo (Snowball)
π: 0 β©: 1
Totally missed Captain Beefheart! Yellow Magic Orchestra videos alternating with Talking Heads videos on SCTV was a pretty good time, too...

I think that was The Plastics, and not Yellow Magic Orchestra - though YMO would have been wonderfully insane
