Been on the road for two days with no Wi-Fi. Kind of relaxing actually. Landed here.
Mission Beach in the rainBefore we left, I finsihed up a couple set pieces for Westerns I'd like to see.
Daily Whip Out: "Mickey Free Rides Away"
Daily Whip Out: "Sepia Maiden"
And, as for the notion that history moves in terms of themes and eras. . .
"Western History now starts in the post-WW2 era. Enough with Wyatt Earp, Jesses James, Billy the Kid, etc. There's nothing new to be said there -- and nobody under the age of 80 wants to read it."
—A Punk I Know
Maybe the above 3 (Wyatt, Jesse and Billy) are getting worn but there's still plenty to talk about as far as others who lived and died in the pre 1900 era is concerned. I would love to see Classic Gunfights on John Selman's last gunfight, Nate Champion's last battle, the 1st battle of Adobe Walls, etc. And I am under 80. Please don't drop the reason (the pre-1900 Wild West) that got me subscribing in the first place. There are modern cowboy/rancher magazines out there but you're the only one focusing on the Old West. Thank you
