During a summer evening in 1960, a ferret, with his backpack and guitar, is walking along a lone New Mexico highway and trying to hitch a ride as a severe storm is setting in. The ferret tried to make it big by starting out playing for night clubs in El Paso...However, things didn't pan out as planned, so he was headed back home to his mom, dad and siblings in Kansas. There hasn't been a car come by since an hour ago, and it's been an hour since nightfall...And the ferret figures there won't be car come by for another hour, or possibly two hours. To turn around and head back south to Vaughn, it would be two hours on foot...A lot can happen in a thunderstorm of this magnitude even in two hours if he chose to head back to Vaughn. To press on north to Pastura is a four hour walk. "If this guitar gets wet, it's ruined", the ferret thought. although a guitar getting wet right now was the least of his worries. The ferret was afraid he could get struck by a bolt of lightning before he could even think of making it to a town where he could find safe shelter...even if it was in an all night gas station until the storm passes. Then, lo and behold, a blessing for the ferret...A northbound, light blue, 1952, Cadillac convertible (an eight year old car at the time) slowed down and came to a stop (with the top up of course). The wolf driving the car let the window down and asked the ferret, "Hello there, fella. Need a ride?". "Oh yes, please", the ferret replied. "Hop in", the wolf offered. "You can put your guitar and backpack on the back seat if you want". "Oh I sure appreciate this", the ferret said as he placed his belongings over to the back seat, then got in. "Hank's the name", the wolf introduced himself as he resumed driving. "Elias Ferret", the ferret introduced himself. "I really appreciate the ride". Hank wolf asked Elias Ferret, "What brings you out to the the middle of nowhere on a night like tonight?". After Elias Ferret told Hank Wolf about his plight of not making it big as a musician, the both of them made interesting conversation about the music trade...Meanwhile, an old song was playing on the radio of that old Cadillac. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1DDrMp3npM During the conversation as they rode through that bad thunderstorm in the comfort and safety of that old Cadillac, Elias Ferret couldn't help but to notice there was something strange and mystic about Hank Wolf...That ride for Elias Ferret was an experience as depicted in a song that would not yet come into being until another 23 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2hJLa0T-Sw
On pic # 2, I've added a tutorial of how I added items with Paint Program to a photo I've taken years ago.
