Here is a personal piece built around a cowboy hat which needed some inspiration. I heard this Fogerty song on the radio and thought, "that's it!". I am not a huge fan of country music but this song took me back to the albums that my older brothers played when I was a kid. I have always been interested in the message in songs and in country music, the cowboy always seems saddened by a dog, a woman, a bad hand, a pickup truck or a horse. The poor fellow in this song had a mean horse throw him a long time ago. Check it out.

Rockin’ the Beer Gut by Trailer Choir
5 foot something, cherry bomb she had everything going on
The first thing that caught my eye
She was rockin’ the beer gut and I love the way she’s not ashamed
Rockin’ the beer gut well it’s just some extra love around her waist
Rockin’ the beer gut she’s more than hot, she’s everything and with the blue jeans a little tight around her butt
Rockin’ the beer gut

Maybe some day you'll get sick of reading positive comments, but until that day... another superb image.

Gorgeous piece, Dick. Have I ever told you how great your header is too?

Nice one Richard.
The hat, how many gallons per mile?
Chevy, Ford, or Hyundai?

Joe, Thanks for that, uh, I guess?. I was able to watch about 1/2 of it.
Victor, I will never get sick of positive comments, never, ever!, thanks!
Ad, I really appreciate hearing that, thx!
Christoph, Gosh, that is great to hear, I am doing something right, Yeah!
Patrick, Hey Patrick!. You are always thinking of mans carbon footprint. All I can say about this Cowboy is, he ain't driving around in no Smart Car. Thanks for the comment.

Wonderful how you worked this out, Richard; bold and striking to boot.
