You have impressed me once again, Sir!
...Robert, <br /><br />You have impressed me once again, Sir! <br />I remember seeing your portrait of Jimi for the first time and being th-rilled that it was available and that I had the chips to buy it. You were in the process of having a sale and offered Jimi to me at half price. Remember? <br />I refused to pay half price for such a fully valued appreciation of your work - so I insisted on paying full price. At that point you and I started going at it in the friendliest of battles with our final resolution pleasing us both. I insisted on paying full price for Jimi and you insisted on producing another work for us. That's how we came to know each other more fully, to appreciate each other more deeply and to be happy with the outcome of our "transaction". One soul never more fully knows another till each draws that line in the sand and refuses to budge. Our lines in the sand were obliterated by mutual respect and commitment and I've always been so happy to have your work in my presence! <br /><br />When I first heard Hendrix, I thought there could never be a finer guitarist. That still holds true! I even spelled my name differently for a bitty time in honor of the rapture he gave me with his work. Debbie became Debi for a time in the progressive '70's! <br /><br />You know of course that SRV was motivated to become a better guitar player having heard Jimi's work and still the dynamism of that unbroken circle helps keep my personal gyroscope on course. In my currently choppy waters, these images represent excellence, beginnings, endings and legacy. May I be as loved in my life!<br /><br />Thanks again, Robert, for making my heart sing every time I see SRV and JH. My very best to you and yours, my talented and dearest of souls!<br /><br />Debbie Wine<br />formerly of Naples, FL <br />presently of Gainesville, FLAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01149599775239025561noreply@blogger.com
