"GUITAR NAILED TO A TREE AT THE HOLLYWOOD CAFE"

No. 251 of my 365/2010 painting series.
Title: " GUITAR NAILED TO A TREE AT THE HOLLY WOOD CAFE"
Size: 8.5x11 inches
Medium: Watercolor on 140lb. deArches watercolor paper. The Hollywood Cafe is located in Tunica, Mississippi, about 30-40 mins. from Memphis, Tennessee. This cafe is mentioned in the lyrics of the song, 'WALKING IN MEMPHIS". This is the place the Memphis musicians would go to to jam all night after their clubs closed. A great place to eat fried dill pickles these days.
