Supermarket Smoke part 3.

 I'm still not sure about the cars, but the rest of this print is ready to go, so I decided to start the cutting today.  I designed this one to take advantage of the straight line of the cut board, so have that edge as one of my borders.   I cut out the other 3 borders relatively quickly, then moved on to the store, which seemed the easiest thing to do at this point.  I completed cutting the whole store except for one section near the top, since the tree branches overlap that and I decided to save it for when I work on the tree.  It all looked fine to me, so I ended there.  Results can be seen below:


I had a plan for music, but that disc didn't play in the machine that I had in the Studio.  Couldn't find the start I guess.  That disc played fine at home, so I figure it's the player, not the disc.  Rather than try it again, I just went with the disc on the back side of that envelope.  This was a home burned disc of the two records (all I know of) of the Hellcats, an all-girl band that I believe was from Memphis in the late 80's/early 90's.  This was one of those bands that my friend Doug turned me on to, a song on a tape he made me and I played often on my road trip to the midwest.  Eventually I tracked down the two records (one album, one mini-album) at one of my radio stations, and burned this disc.  The band was hard to place- sometimes put into either the alternative or garage rock category, but also covering songs that would be characterized as blues, country, or old rock n' roll.  This disc includes the album Hoodoo Train, and the mini album Cherry Mansions.  I enjoyed them.  The band broke up long ago and the name has been used by other bands, tv shows, and cars, so they can be hard to track down.  Luckily, I have this disc.
