BUBBA THE BOOTLEGGER

There is a style of primitive art that has been around for some time, often referred to as "tramp art", because the men who roamed the United States, often by train, and often misplaced by the Great Depression, would make simple handicrafts with available materials, and then swap them for supper, or a bed in the barn.  The museum, often focusing on the lost, the forgotten, the disenfranchised, is looking to expand our collection of tramp art, but we will always be proud of this piece below.  It is a humble, sad-but-sturdy house made of wood strips (maybe even bamboo?) and some kind of mortar.  And we thought it would be perfect in Bear Claw Holler, down a ways from Willie the Whittler and Ernie's Taxidermy.  Take a look at Bubba the Bootlegger, his fortress home and copper stills!  There is even a set of horseshoes for passing the time while the booze brews!  (Note:  when I had the museum up and running in Appomattox for a while, a kindly sheriff came by and gently corrected me:  the man selling the liquor is the bootlegger, what I had was a moonshiner!  So I am looking for a new name for the moonshiner--any ideas?
