Kay Starr

Kay Starr was born Katherine LaVerne Starks in Dougherty, Oklahoma, (pop. 400) on July 21, 1922. Her family, father Harry, a full-blooded Iroquois Indian, and mother Annie, Irish, moved to Dallas when Kay was three. Little Kay would practice singing to the chickens in the henhouse. Happy Birthday Kay. And Thanks. The Hits like "Wheel of Fortune" were wonderful but those obscure blues and jazz recordings give me goose bumps. "Good-For-Nothin' Joe" is a personal favorite.

Can anyone identify this painting? Is it Francois Schuiten? Looks like his work but can someone confirm it?? Click for larger version.
