30 years in a Career unrelated to Art. Thus only

appear" in the vast field of bright stars already
basking in hard-earned recognition.

| CONTACT ALERTs & ANNOUNCEMENTS: SAD NOTE: The Natural Environment of woody plants surrounding The Fiddle Tree HAVE BEEN METHODICALY POISONED. [See Photos and Details below.] To those who have requested Fiddle Tree pics without the Watermark for your Desktop Background - treasure the ones I've already sent for there will be no more. Two people RENTING the small 6 acres, named Strunk & Willbern, destroyed everything as recorded for all time in the digital photos below. ART FANS: Sometimes something happens in an Artist's Life..... and.... it simply called "Life". At this stage I am unexpectedly and deeply involved in a professionally demanding and hazardous service; some time is set aside to practice the Violin and Guitar but otherwise there is no free time right now. In answer to your thoughtful inquiries, I am well and very active. When the stars are aligned properly again, productions of art will resume. All CDs heretofore listed are being withdrawn until further notice. When no universally satisfactory explanation is available - none will be offered. Just know that in time the many productions will be shared with the public. Thank you, RUSH. |

Nan Hampton of The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center
was shocked to view the poisoned Texas Ash to the left (also
known as Texas Hercules Club). The rugged ornamental shrub
has thrived on the dry gravel/earthen dam bank and is a native of
Texas. Its orange-red berries were chewed by Indians to dull
toothaches; it was known to them as "Tickle Tongue". Today
the berries are used for seasoning in some foods and the plant is
attractive year-round. Furthermore, it is a Host Plant for the
Giant Swallowtail Butterfly, providing shelter and feed for many
species of birds, and prevents corrosion of the earthen dam.
She asked 'why' it was Poisoned. Of course, I had NO
REASONABLE ANSWER. She concluded sadly: "It seems a
real shame given our current heat and drought conditions to
kill any plant that has survived."
Others from the State's Wildflower Center noted that also all
Persimmons, small Oaks, Hackberrys, Century Plants, and
shrubs supporting wild Mustang Grape Vines were POISONED.

soaked base stems.

| On Aug. 4th, 2009, the two people LEASING the acreage (which includes The Fiddle Tree) strapped-on Chemical Backpack Sprayers and methodically POISONED all woody plants & shrubs surrounding this unique shady grove. Ostensibly "...to kill Mesquite Trees." But, they poisoned all the woody plants. The two applied blue-green SURFACTANT laden Herbacides in the Stem Spray Saturation Method which generally guarantees ROOT KILL. Probably a Poison with a harmless sounding name like "Remedy" or "Vista" or "Reclaim". NOW IN 2011 - even the great Cedar Tree itself has fallen down due to the poisons soaked into the ancient roots, killing its support system. |

"If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days shearing off
those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen." ~Henry David Thoreau
"The groves were God's first temples." ~William Cullen Bryant
"Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money."
~Cree Indian Proverb

Little Rascal died in July of 2010. He was a good little Soul, always
happy to see me; loyal, loving and ever by my side. I miss him daily.
