Several years ago I saw an awesome photo on Flickr taken by David Wilson, I believe in 1969, of one of the old buses that I would see almost every day of my childhood growing up in Canonsburg, PA. Click here to see that photo. I’d been so taken by that photo that I decided to use it as a reference for a freehand, digital painting on my iPad Pro in the Sketch Club app. The image brings back fond memories, and I can almost hear and smell that bus going through this intersection in Houston, PA, a neighboring town.

No Idea…(but does Guzzell’s Hardware ring a bell?)

I have no idea what this image means, a bird flying while carrying a suitcase with a Blue Eagle Guitars sticker on it? But I do know this, that some people of a certain age from Canonsburg, PA would easily “get” the Blue Eagle Guitar Shop based on their experience at Guzzell’s Hardware Store. If Stanley Guzzell catered to Western Pennsylvanian musicians, his shop would be like Blue Eagle Guitars. Everybody knows places like this. They’re not neat. If it’s not there, you really didn’t need it.
