Down Home with C.W.




Left to Right:  C.W. Connor and Neal Lawrence.  C. W. and Neal are relaxing on C.W.'s front porch, near Ellijah, Georgia.  C. W. built the porch they are sitting on and the house it is attached to.  In high school, C.W. was a couple years ahead of me.  He always had a group of friends around him and all of them had a cocktail in hand ready for some casual social talk.  His home is on the side of a mountain with no neighbors.  By the gravel roads he can hear the approaching of a car several minutes before it arrives which gives one time to load the shotgun and/or put on some clothes..   He grew up to be a well known folk artist.  His art is expensive but his down to earth  homespun philosophy is on the house.
