A child of the Southwest and of the 50s -- a woman who knew me well once said, 'Yeah, the 1850s.' Generally culturally conservative and distrustful of new and improved innovative change. Very seldom overtly serious, but many a truth is spoke in jest and all of my truths are. Worked my way through UT when I was up in my 30s. If I'd, by some horrible miscalculation ended up in Bryan, I would've worked my way through that school over there. Have worked all over in printing and publishing. I've held a bunch of jobs and quit all of them but one. I am a journeyman printer and followed the trade and heard its dying gasps as it was throttled by technological change. I had a sponsored blog on a newspaper but quit the job.
Here is a publicity still of Roy Orbison in a role in a western back in the 60s. Although he is from out in the Westest of Texas, I somehow never thought of him as a kicker.

Sho'nuf IS Roy Orbison. Huh. Who knew?
The pretty lady beside him could almost be Dolly Parton, if you use your imagination.
Now that makes me wonder why they never sang together. Wouldn't that have been heavenly? What a lovely duo those two would have made.
