The poem sounds like something Henry Gibson would have done.
Ten BIG OFC points to the first one to get the pop culture refference. |

About the ad. Who saves stuff like this for year & years. Or better... who goes out and finds it? |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Actually, back then, the inspiration probably came from this:
Quite commom around festivals in the SW and such during the late 60's and early 70's...or so I hear anyway...And the Native Americians loved it as well!
:rolleyes:
So glad the 60's and 70's are over! At least I can remember "Wazzz Uppp". Now if I could just find my glasses...I know I left them somewhere... :D
Blessings... |

Also the "person" holding the guitar is what Randy Hess refered to as Waldo. He appears in many places. Randy's first achievement was to kill Waldo. It's an impossible position to achieve but it works with pen and ink. |
