Got a artist friend in Little Rock who's been wantin'
to paint my buses...If I don't sell the '58, gonna
come up with somethin' snappy fer a logo...
Maybe 'Neil's Rollin' Home for Soiled Doves'...
Naw, too long...
He does pretty cool stuff, stays pretty busy flyin'
around, paintin' murals and faux finishes for the
upper crust...
Check out some of his work at www.michaellindas.com
