Just a couple....and I had to laugh....his opinion of artist agents....'crooks, so you had to find a lesser one'. And describing the 60's 'raining all the time trend'. Right on, and what I call the 'acrylic swish' period. I was as guilty as any....we had to stay 'trendy'. Art directors and advertising demanded the new look and new fad of the day. Good blogs!Charlie Allennoreply@blogger.com
