The film that aligned with my proclivities is "The Tomb of Ligeia", and certainly middle period for the man. The scene that struck me was one wherein our hero slouched languidly against the stained and discolored but never cracked palimpsest of a stucco wall in his kitchen, rustic shelves cluttered with earthy crockery, archaic pans, and obsolete utensils. A quick double take and my thoughts exclaimed, "That's it- and so do I aspire!" A slow pan 'round the perimeter of my abode revealed that I was already halfway there. <br />The obelisk thing seems much more "House on Haunted Hill", don't you think? But of course Vincent's wife was bound to share his tastes.

When was it? About 1960, I think. Not an ordinary one, mind you. I want a very special one in rustic shades of black stained leather with the willow frame tending toward root beer. Naturally, in those tones one could never think of painting it. How ghastly! And a guitar cozy? Not on your life. Though I have alternately considered whether to hang it bottom out or inside facing. Considered the ceiling briefly, but no. If I ever find one it will fit so perfectly with the rest of my decor: Early Vincent Price.Popeye Kahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663295097741473289noreply@blogger.com
