Those of you who have been taking this trip along with me here in 'blog-a-wog-wig-waggy-land', will know that one of my ALL-TIME favorite 'smooth country crooners',is the 'Southern Gentleman' himself, the one and only Sonny James!!
One of the kind of sad things I've discovered about this truly unique and talented artist, is that pretty much NO merchandise EXISTS, featuring him!!! Oh, you can find hundreds (maybe thousands???) of his albums on E-bay!! But--- just try searching (like 'ol Loydster did!!) for... oh, I don't know.... maybe a T-shirt with him on it!! Again, I came up with ZIP in that department!!
BUT---- this is JUST the type of situation where the 'mad scientist' in me takes over!!! The wheels, gears and mental teeter-totters started turning in the 'ol noggin!!! The next thing I know, I'm snagging iron-on transfer-paper at the local 'Wally-world', along with a 'blank' / plain T-shirt---- and putting together a design for a transfer!! I think what I came up with turned out fairly NIFTY!!!----
 |
| Nothing TOO fancy-shmancy here!!! A simple black,white and gray design--- using fonts from the Microsoft Word program on my lap-top!! AND--- the SAME portrait of Sonny from his 'Best of...' album!!! |
Next, my daughter's scanner / copier was drafted into service--- for the actual printing of the design onto the transfer paper (thanks a LOT, Shelb!! You are INDEED a sweetie for helping dear 'ol dad out in this little venture!!!). THEN---- finally, after CAREFULLY following the instructions (AND managing NOT to goof-up either transfer OR T-shirt!!!), 'WHAM'!!!-----

| One HAPPY Sonny James fan!! Pretty CLASSY, don't you think??? ( I mean the shirt, OF COURSE!!) |
-----'See you NEXT time, gang!!!!'-----
