Homage to Frank Meadows Sutcliffe

Just thought I would post a photo of a painting I completed 25 years ago. It was painted with oil and acrylic on canvas 4 feet by 3 feet. I guess I painted it as a tribute to Whitby!

Steaming!

There is something about steam trains!

Those were the day's!

 
 

Roll on Spring!

It's the end of January and yes, I too am bored of winter and the long dark nights. To liven things up I have posted a view of my local pub and a "O.Winston Link" inspired shot of a nearby Feed Bin!!! These shots were taken with my cell phone.

People have been taking photographs, while on the road for years!

It was thirty years ago!

Thirty years ago I drove across the states and during a stop over in Arizona I hired a horse and came across this ranch!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

WISHING YOU A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

IMAGINE

Twenty five years ago I was sat in the Comedy Store on Sunset Strip, West Hollywood and a waitress approached my table with a drink for me, she was crying. I asked her if she was alright and she replied, "John Lennon has been shot dead this evening in New York!" I downed my drink in one and went straight home and watched the television news in disbelief. Innocence was driven much further back into my memory.

BACK FROM MY HOLS

Hi everyone, I just got back from Marmaris Turkey where me and the family had a two week vacation sampling the sun, sea, and markets of Turkey. It was hot and sunny everyday except for one night when there was an incredible electic storm. I am still going through pics I took on tour and will be publishing more in the future!

LOOKING AT THE WORLD THROUGH A WINDSCREEN

All these shots were taken through the windows of my truck.

I am now sat at home in the living room and have selected a few more shots for you all. As I look out of the window a Teesside blue sky is greeting me (steely grey)I must get on and book this late deal holiday!!!

OFF TO NORTH AMERICA

After a long drive of over 2000 kilometers I arrived at Southampton Docks on Wednesday morning and there I said goodbye to my Genny's. They are now on a ship bound for New York and some other job. After writing this blog for the past couple of months I will now tell you something of myself.
My name is Graham Wright (G.W.) and I have been involved in the music business for over 30 years as a backline roadie, stage carpenter and truck driver. I am also an artist and author, I recently co-authored a book about touring in the seventies titled "How Black was our Sabbath" check it out on Amazon, it's a view from the crew!(If you enjoyed the blog you might enjoy the book)
Thats all for now I am now going down to my local village pub for a pint of beer the first in two months!!!

JERRY & GENNY

Here are a few shots taken before the blog emerged, earlier on the tour.
