That is a nice work of art, very nice.
Belmonts? On their own, without Dion.

The Belmonts are out in the parking lot stealing hub caps off of cars.
It is evident that some things are and some things are not evident..........
Until waiting fills, of course.
Yes. After I posted at #19 it occurred to me that chinaboy might need a little more to get the cultural reference.
Thank you for providing the final puzzle piece for him.
Glow-bull warming.
Why you must not ask. Put down the bong you must.
I see a head of an animal between the 2 trees on the right at the bottom of the trees.
Looks like there many more but i only concentrated on the one.
I flushed it out in PS
Sorry, i have never showed images on FR.
If you’re asking, “Why was my previous post deleted?”, it was because you violated FR’s rule against “solicitation,” that is, trying to sell things on this site. That’s not allowed.
As I pointed out above, no Dion in this one. It was the Belmonts by themselves.

From wikipedia...
1960 to 1971:
Due to musical differences between DiMucci and the Belmonts, Dion decided to leave the group. "They wanted to get into their harmony thing, and I wanted to rock and roll," said Dion. "The label wanted me doing standards. I got bored with it quickly. I said, 'I can't do this. I gotta play my guitar'. So we split up and I did 'Runaround Sue', 'The Wanderer' and 'Ruby Baby'".[2] D'Aleo recalls, "The breakup? I loved that guy. But there was a reason why he left. Our reason was we wanted to stick to light rock 'n' roll and standards, and he wanted to get into the blues. He said, 'I want to do blues and country.
I think it's time to go our separate ways'. We agreed. There was no shouting or anything like that. We had 'Tell Me Why'. Dion had 'Runaround Sue' and 'The Wanderer'."
huh?
Sometimes one needs a quietly beautiful place to ponder and muse - God has provided for all of our needs if we only open our eyes.
There was a song about Dion and The Belmonts and that was part of the lyrics.
“Preps Four”, “More Money For You And Me” partial lyrics:
Dion and the Belmonts are driving us to tears
Let’s send them up the river for about a thousand years
While the kids are watching Dion singing about the stars
The Belmonts are out in the parking lot stealing hubcaps off of cars
Each time I steal a hubcap it almost breaks my heart
Why do I steal hubcaps, why did I have to start?
Each night I ask the stars without fail
Why must I be a teenager in jail?
Stupid song, weren’t most of them though? It was popular for a while. (August ‘61)
“Tell Me Why” by the Belmonts held a regular spot on the playlist for KWIZ, which played “oldies” at 1480 kcs. out of Santa Ana, Calif. in the late 1960’s. But they also played songs such as “I Wonder Why” by Dion & the Belmonts. My recall, going back nearly five decades, was a bit fuzzy.
Songs performed with the Del-Satins doing the backup (as opposed to the Belmonts) include: “Runaround Sue”, “The Wanderer”, “Lovers Who Wander”, “Little Diane”, “Love Came to Me”, “Ruby Baby”, “Donna the Prima Donna” and “Drip Drop”.

“In 1960 they [the Del-Satins] recorded their debut single, “I’ll Pray for You”, for George Goldner’s small independent End label, before acquiring a new manager, Laurie Gribble, and signing for Laurie Records.
There they joined forces with Dion, who wanted to replace his existing backing vocal group, the Belmonts, with a “rockier” sound. The Del-Satins were instantly sent to work on his new song, “Runaround Sue”, which then rose to number 1 in the Billboard charts. Although their contribution to the hit was substantial, the Del-Satins received no credit. They also sang on Dion’s later solo hits, “The Wanderer”, “Lovers Who Wander”, “Little Diane”, “Love Came to Me”, “Ruby Baby”, “Donna the Prima Donna” and “Drip Drop”...”

Most oldies stupid? No way. Many had beautiful, wholesome lyrics about normal boy-girl relationships. The 4 or 5-part harmonies were on many occasions terrific, as was the beat and/or rhythm. It was a golden era for American music. I suspect you didn't mean this as it came out.(?)
