Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "Gracie!" (Piss & Vinegar!)
(dedicato: MEGAN -R.I.P.)
GRACIE was 10 or 12 years old. Gallery owner/music promoters' kid, backstage in an Art gallery/dave delacroix concert, East Colfax Boulevard, Denver-Colorado, USA; the stage-back-drop eschew with ornate, empty picture frames...
Every time I paused between songs Gracie would prop up a single large picture frame, stand behind and present HERSELF as THE picture "subject" and holler: "DAVE!!!" (10 or 12 years old...!)
Even as a KID Gracie was ahead of her years; maybe later, school, college, she'll probably gravitate to Art School, the PEACE CORPS, donate half her income to some third world country, NEVER get married but have a kid of her own by some passing love? She will constantly Travel: A portrait in Progress full of "piss & vinegar" (joi de vie/courage!) And you can put THAT in your Pipe and Smoke it!!!...:)
