Henry Faulkner. Interesting site. Look at the first image in the photos.

My wife was good friends with him. He used to show up at her performances, sometimes taking the stage to sing a bit. He died on his way to a Halloween party. We were on our way there too. He was hit by a hit and run driver. Because Henry was Henry, the drunk sorority girl got off with a slap on the wrist, even though when asked if she'd never drive drunk again, she said something like not sure, or probably not.

1. His art is very beautiful--

folky but sophisticated and with a great handling of bright color. I wish I'd been able to know him.

2. He was a real character. He would show up at the bar wearing

nothing but a horse blanket.

Lexington has always been a good place for the weird and wonderful. The universities and the horse industry opened our town to a diverse crowd.

A member of the Merry Pranksters made Lexington his home. From time to time some of the other Pranksters would come to town.
