Subject: RE: Songs about art ?
Michael Marra also has a song about Frida Kahlo.
Jimmy Buffet has a song about a hard-luck poet on "White Sports Coat & a Pink Crustacean".
In the version of "Lakes of Ponchartrain" Helen Creighton published in Songs & Ballads of Nova Scotia, the speaker says:
I tried to paint her beauty, but my efforts were in vain,
So handsome was that Creole girl, on the lakes of Ponchartrain.
The Bard of Armagh? I only know the title.
