St. Ignace was amazing. It was fun to reconnect with old friends like Ed and Donna Ryan and meet new ones. I met Brian Downing the owner of the General Lee on loan to the show for John Schneider's use, and he was a standup guy, as was his friend Eric, who is currently producing the Burt Reynold's Bandit. I will be doing a drawing of their General in the near future. My employer from 20 years ago, Mike Stowe, owner of Classic Instruments from Boyne City, also stopped into my tent. Seeing Steve Ryan of Mobsteel was as always, a pleasure, and viewing their Ford Flex that they tricked out was creatively awe inspiring. Wow was it impressive, Adam Genei, though not able to attend outdid himself with the Flex. It took top honors at SEMA this year. I also presented Ed Reavie with a drawing of his Chevy. With over 10000 people attending, it was a mass of gearheads and automotive artists. It was a privilege.
Note: I was on Cadillac's Mix 96 on June 18th, 2009, at 10:00 PM, being interviewed by Billy B. on the Mix Local Music Spotlight with Billy B. discussing 8 songs that I had recently recorded, and the demo CD I am currently put together named Forgotten Youth.
6 sample songs from demo CD Forgotten Youth (these may take a moment to download to your computer's player):

Dear Art and Car Enthusiasts:
As an artist I have found a love in the cars of the past and those vehicles of the future that are willing to look back to their automotive design roots. The beauty of the "automotive flourish" comes from butting heads with utilitarianism. I appreciate the chrome inspiration that I get by gazing through the car to what is being reflected from its surroundings. Each car is a self-portrait that I take a multitude of hours pouring myself into. They are statements of a time, a place, a feeling, that has inspired me in some way. I place a passion into my messages of art, and into my car portraits.
Sincerely,
Buck
