Not Fade Away

Hey,

Just finished Buddy painting yesty. Been Listenin' to so much Buddy Holly in the last week...Timeless. Can't believe his output until his tragic young passing at 22. I could live on a steady diet of 50s Rock'n'Roll and never have to listen to anything else.



Next, of course is the Sister Rosetta Tharpe painting, I'll post the sketch this time next week. Then I reckon portrait paintings of Johnny Ramone and Chrissie Hynde, followed lastly by a tribute painting to the great Fender Telecaster guitar heros: James Burton, Clarence White, Jesse Ed Davis and Steve Cropper.

 Here's some o dat Tele action.

Booker T and the MGs, Live in Norway. 'Green Onions'.
