The title of this comes from Robert Johnson’s 1936 recording of “Last Fair Deal<\/a>“: Ida Belle don’t cry this time \/ Ida Belle don’t cry this time \/ If you cry about a nickel \/ You’ll die about a dime<\/em>.<\/p>\n

When I was seventeen, I moved to Jackson, Mississippi and was on my own for the first time. \u00a0I spent a lot of time in my station wagon exploring every dark corner of Jackson, playing my Robert Johnson tape on a cassette player I held on my lap while driving. I remember rewinding this song over and over. \u00a0I also played a lot of guitar that year but could never play a Robert Johnson song to save my life. \u00a0This painting feels more like his music to me than anything I ever could do on the guitar, though of course there’s no real comparison. \u00a0As a side note, the Wastrels are making a cameo appearance in the pictures on the wall above Ida Belle’s (presumably) double arm. \u00a0Immutable little interlopers.<\/p>\n
