DEFINITELY Geoff!!!..........whatever became of all the howling cat on a fence cartoonery that used to be so prevalent ?.....there was always at least one clunky size 10 loafer used to quiet the lil` buggers
everyone who even somewhat got along with Vinnie,would tell you the same exact thing......"try to get on his good side" they`d say
Not only could the man paint; he also had an ear for music.
I was unintentionally delayed in my response Jack.....that,and I was only half listening .......We now know that people in classic times would flock to Vincent for advice and commiseration......"Please Yon Vincent,lend us an ear" they would implore....and for the longest time,Vincent would do just that.
After a time,Vincent came upon a trio of troubadours that was down to it`s last two members.Unselfishly,Vincent offered the bereft rapscallions not only the LOAN of an ear,but the actual ear itself.Said appendage went on to front the group until 1893,when creative differences led the band members to go separate ways
For you see,prior to his lobectomy, Vincent had a sizable talent that went beyond portrait painting.When it came to MUSIC,Vincent was able to play by ear.
I could have told you JayBee.....this world was never meant for one as beautiful as Vin.
