Had an uncle who, along with his dad and brothers, were sign
painters. They're all gone now but when I was a kid any we
used to go visit I used to love to wonder into the old barn
where they worked and look at their latest project. They were
artists in their own way and to this day I still wish I could
paint like that. A lot of the pin strippers still paint lettering also.
Agree with ya on the vinyl Leo, I always thought it looked
cheesy. Just doesn't have the same permanent feel that real
paint does, which develops a patina over time rather than
looking 'raggedy'.
I'd like to think that's patina that I'm seeing in the mirror
as I age, but most people that meet me classify it as just
plain ragged.
Oh, and for those that remember, I didn't mean Woody has left
this world, I meant that he's left the fold. Don't know how
he's doin', like Fred, he just kind of disappeared into the
mist and doesn't answer to any pm's or emails.
