Lost Cat Painting Found

John's been up in Rochester clearing out the (mostly junk) from his mom's
house. He had friends helping him. Dave yelled, "John, look what I found!"
Oh good lord, it's a painting he did in 1968 of a cat! I have a photo of
him standing next to it, see below:

He thought it was lost, burned up at his fathers house. Turns out his mom
had it stuffed in the attic all these years. He wants me to have it

BTW, how many people here think John looks like Phil Collins in that photo?

Who's "Phil Collins"? ( Incidentally, I like the painting -
if he was as young as he looks in the photo, and was
painting that well then, he deserves to be successful!)

Yeah, he did. And he has aged well too. I like picture #14 in the album as
well.

Thanks... John was about 23 when he painted that and hadn't been to the art
academy yet. But he'd been painting since he was a 5 year old child. It
was a given I have a photo of him with an eisle and paints his parents
gave him for Christmas in 1951.

Phil Collins was the drummer for a rock band called 'Genesis' in the 1970's.
Peter Gabriel left the band to pursue a solo career. Phil stepped in.

That's great! Very 1968-looking.

LOL! Especially the haircut.

Oh, that was the one done by his father, Robert Willer, in a 'Vargas' style.
Similar to what was seen in Playboy magazines back in the day. He was
mostly a photographer, which is why I have so many photographs John gave me.
But you can see where John got his talent! Unfoturnately, his father
committed suicide in 1987

He's aged right along with Phil to only having 'fringe'. And he likes to
play drums and mess around with keyboards. Bet Phil doesn't paint, though

I watched Genesis at the Live Earh gig last night and thought the
funny thing was that Phil Collins is starting to sound like Fish (I am
not insane those who know what I am talking about will get this)

John didn't realize Genesis didn't start out with Phil Collins. Phil
stepped in when Peter Gabriel stepped out. They sound virtually the same.
Ever hear 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway'? That's Peter Gabriel, not Phil
Collins. Great album.
