Bar art


Story to go with pictures.-------I knew Tony from the late sixties in Antwerpen,Belgium, we were good buddies then, always play fighting verbally and teasing each other about our language differences,(he was still trying to master English !) anyway we lost contact over the next more than twenty years and only met up again in 1991 in dear old Antwerpen.It was like we had never parted!!The war of words and wills continued,but in the best of humor (usually)This first sketch was done when we were out on the town doing the bars,on that day of reunion.It was drawn in the "Pelikan" bar on the corner opposite the "Muse".The bearded character is Montana Bob, no longer with us and that's his daughter with him.As per usual there is a Tony inscription on it,that reads "Love,time and not many left in a bar of forgotten memories,this is the trouble"

This is a Dave Q.T. Redheart F. Betts memory of Tony, more to come.
