When the wind stopped and the water was calm, it was hard to tell where the land ended and the bayou began . . .

Light My Fire

People often wonder what inspires a poet or song writer.  While on tour and doing a show in Houston, Jim Morrison and the band had a day’s layover and decided to take a drive through the coastal bayou country.  The sunset was stunning, and the rest is history . . .

Day’s End

William (known by the media, and by whom he referred to as the stinking paparazzi, as Bayou Billy) was being called to Washington to testify before one House select committee and  one Senate committee about proposed agricultural subsidies and migrant workers.  As he watched the sun set over the bayou, he tried to fix in his mind how he would end the day when he was back home rather than how he would probably end the day in DC . . . . .

Calm Before the Storm

Almost every night, Bob Jim and Suzie came down to the dock on the bayou to watch the sunset and enjoy the calm before the storm which was the ten o’clock news.  The two needed a little calm before hearing about tornadoes, fires, Benghazi, the IRS scandal, reporters’ phones tapped, North Korea firing missiles,  arsenic found in chickens and who knew what else? . . . . .  David, Sf.G.
