Ive known a few Hermits around New Mexico who loved the Mountains around Ancho and who had Gold Mines. My Friend Lloyd Hoskins that i found dead he had been dead about 10 days when i found him and reported it to the Authorites he was in his 90s when he died possibly of Hypotermia up there on his Mountain. Lloyd called himself the Old Man of the Mountain. And he didnt let too many visitors up on his Mountain but when he saw me he would grab his guitar and tell me Play the Tennessee Waltz. >>>>> There was also this Lady Hermit in the Conchas Area that lived in a Small old trailer and she use to walk about a half mile to a Cattle drinking tank to get water to drink. She Asked me a Question i couldnt Answer.>>>>>>>> Katherine Doolen asked me see all the Hundreds of Bluebirds everywhere? How come they dont Sing? Katherine was in her 70s when i met her years ago and is quite Eccentric and use to be sercretary for Norelco in N.Y. she said and she was a very good artist on looking at some of her work with pencil. SHE hates to have people visit her but so did Lloyd. >>>>> I asked LLoyd what made him come out there to live on a Mountain without electricity or gas and no well to drink out off just Rain Water. >>>> Lloyd Hoskins Said... I Just Got Tired Of Having to Wear a Tuxedo everytime I Sat Down to Eat. el pintada kid
Amen song! I intend to be a hermit (armed and dangerous variety) when I relocate there in the not too distant future!!!! The less I see of humanity the more I luv it!!!!!!!
I've met some really great folks on this forum and in NM and I love being around them but the people that I've had to deal with in my past need to be hunted down and killed. Hunters?? Where are you? I've got some people on my list. Save the animals and kill the a**holes.
I like you more and more song! Can't say I disagree. I do admire many poets, artists, scientists, visionaries, musicians, writers and cosmologists, however...but for every one of those there are a million morons, knuckle draggers, creeps, thieves, thugs, and a**holes...at least!!!! The world of humanity tends to be a cesspool. Without art, music and creativity I would not want to exist. Humankind is just so very dismal, for the most part. I "get it" when it comes to hermits and their proclivity for solitary lives. Do I ever...........
Hey, more like me! I wanna be a hermit when I grow up. The more I seee out of people, the more I like my animals. At least animals are straightforward. They don't like you or ya make 'em mad, they bite/kick/scratch you immediately. They don't wait. :-)
June 13th was Lloyds birthday and every year my ex and I would drive to the Hermits mountain he would be waiting dressed in you guessed it a Tuxedo and then on to Alamogordo where we would would stop at the Same Restaurant to eat all the time and he would not let us pay for the meals. Then he would pick up his mail and back home we would take him. Lloyd use to tell me you can kill all the Animals you want at the bottom of the Mountain but dont kill any on my mountain. Lloyd died over 25 years ago when we looked in the Window of his shed he was naked lying next to his little cot and had been dead about ten days according to the medical examiner. el pintada kid
