Embarrassed for him? Hm..m ~ not sure. I used to suffer vicariously and painfully on behalf of other people. I'm working more on myself now. Plenty to be embarrassed about for a decade or two and then it won't matter because I'll be drooling and nearing the end. Maybe.<br /><br />He was an impressive finger painter, without doubt. He worked frenetically at something I never did figure out, as I've proven poor at finding the hidden object in a mass of image. Finally, Jenn said, "I think it's Bob Marley, upside down!" Soon enough, Frenchy flipped that canvas and it was the reggae man. Done very well.<br /><br />Best way I can describe the missing link: sometimes in international travel, you come upon someone or a group who wants, desperately, to be an American rocker(s). Man, they've seen the videos and TV, and heard the music. But when they put it together, sometimes they've missed the oddest little thing, or don't have access to it. So no American is ever going to be fooled for a moment. Perhaps Frenchy thought poor sound would be OK because his painting would dazzle. And it did - to an extent. I'm sure he thought those dancers were something. And they were - I'm just not certain WHAT they were. But he COULD paint.Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-50075165173363609082011-06-22T10:00:15.414-07:002011-06-22T10:00:15.414-07:00At that divey little bar quite the trip from my ho...At that divey little bar quite the trip from my house I was telling you about, once a painter set up an easel next to the stage and started to paint, apparently inspired by the live music. I kept waiting to be impressed, but was both disappointed and a little embarassed for him. It looks like Frenchy may have been actually fairly talented, albeit weird?MoreCakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07997966214729747678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-64055350482682048952011-06-21T12:10:27.288-07:002011-06-21T12:10:27.288-07:00@ Kirk ~ Oh, no my friend, Frenchy doesn't eve...@ Kirk ~ Oh, no my friend, Frenchy doesn't even deserve that designation. He's a fingerpainter who paints and plays poorly recorded music while VERY young people dance around and none of that fits together in any cohesive presentation. <br /><br />I had fun because I had a whole evening of learning new stuff, which matters a great deal to me. But not a traditional "good time". Just weird.Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-19999603686051277452011-06-21T12:07:23.882-07:002011-06-21T12:07:23.882-07:00Sorry, Leslie, but those videos are too small for ...Sorry, Leslie, but those videos are too small for me to make out what's happening.
