About The Artwork

Now I don't know I don't know I don't know where I'm a gonna go When the volcano blow Let me say now I don't know I don't know I don't know where I'm a gonna go When the volcano blow Ground she's movin' under me Tidal waves out on the sea Sulphur smoke up in the sky Pretty soon we learn to fly Let me hear ya now I don't know I don't know I don't know where I'm a gonna go When the volcano blow Now my girl quickly say to me Mon you better watch your feet Lava come down soft and hot You better lava me now or lava me not Let me say now I don't know I don't know I don't know where I'm a gonna go When the volcano blow -- Spoken: "Mr Utley..." No time to count what I'm worth 'Cause I just left the planet earth Where I go I hope there's rum Not to worry mon soon come Now I don't know I don't know I don't know where I'm a gonna go When the volcano blow One more now I don't know (ah he don't know) I don't know (he don't know, mon) I don't know where I'm a gonna go When the volcano blow But I don't want to land in New York City Don't want to land in Mexico (no no no) Don't want to land on no Three Mile Island Don't want to see my skin aglow (no no no) Don't want to land in Commanche Sky park Or in Nashville, Tennessee (no no no) Don't want to land in no San Juan airport Or the Yukon Territory (no no no) Don't want to land no San Diego Don't want to land in no Buzzards Bay (no no no) Don't want to land on no Ayotollah I got nothing more to say I don't know I don't know I don't know where I'm a gonna go When the volcano blow Just a one more, I don't know (he don't know) I don't know (I don't know, man) I don't know where I'm a gonna go When the volcano blow ‘Volcano’ by Jimmy Buffett Songwriters: Charles Thompson / Violet Clarke "Volcano" is a song performed by American popular music singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It was written by Jimmy Buffett, Keith Sykes, and Harry Dailey and released as a single (b/w "Stranded on a Sandbar") on MCA 41161 in November 1979. Written in a calypso/reggae style, the song was first released on his 1979 album Volcano and reached No. 66 on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as peaking at No. 43 on the Easy Listening chart. The song and album are named for the then-dormant Soufrière Hills volcano on the island of Montserrat in the British West Indieswhere Buffett recorded the album in May 1979 at AIR Studios. The studio was destroyed by Hurricane Hugo in 1989 and Soufrière Hills erupted again in 1995. The lyrics describe the narrator's anxiety about his possible whereabouts following the impending eruption of a volcano. The bridgebefore the final chorus mentions a number of placenames, some important largely in the context of 1979: But I don't want to land in New York City, I don't want to land in Mexico. I don't want to land on no Three Mile Island, I don't want to see my skin a-glow. Don't want to land in Camanche Skypark, or in Nashville, Tennessee. I don't want to land in no San Juan Airport or the Yukon Territory. Don't want to land no San Diego. Don't want to land in no Buzzards Bay. I don't want to land on no Ayatollah. I got nothin' more to say. "Volcano" is one of Buffett's more popular songs with fans, and is part of "The Big 8" that he has played at almost all of his concerts. Recorded live versions of the song appear on Feeding Frenzy, Buffett Live: Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and the video Live by the Bay. The placenames in the final bridge are often altered in concert to reflect more recent news. The song was also re-recorded and released for Rock Band on June 3, 2008, with the last two lines listed above changed to, "I want to be a couch potato / Just play Rock Band everyday." Volcano was recorded at AIR Studios in Montserrat and was played at the London benefit concert "Music for Montserrat", arranged by Sir George Martin to support the island after the twin disasters of hurricane Hugo and the eruptions of the Soufrière Hills volcano. The lyrics were changed to fit the context. For example, the phrase "We've got to help our friends in Montserrat" appeared in the song. When performed at concerts, a video of the song on Rock Band is shown. James William Buffett (born December 25, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, author, actor, and businessman. He is best known for his music, which often portrays an "island escapism" lifestyle. Together with his Coral Reefer Band, Buffett has recorded hit songs including "Margaritaville" (ranked 234th on the Recording Industry Association of America's list of "Songs of the Century") and "Come Monday". He has a devoted base of fans known as "Parrotheads". Aside from his career in music, Buffett is also a bestselling author and was involved in two restaurant chains named after two of his best-known songs; he currently owns the Margaritaville Cafe restaurant chain and co-developed the now defunct Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant chain. Buffett is one of the world's richest musicians, with a net worth of $550 million. Source: Wikipedia

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
