Cisco Houston: The Autographed Photo
The lack of photos or other documents from Cisco's life continues to astonish us. Many people he knew are still alive, but we can learn almost nothing about him. I recently found this on e-bay, and happily purchased it. It is the standard issue press publicity photograph, also used on multiple album covers.... but on the back is this inscription:
Dear Larry
Hope this got to you in time
Thanks
Cisco Houston
And of course, like Old Testament scholars, we see a million mysteries and puzzles in that brief inscription. Most likely, questions we will never answer. Who was Larry? "In time" for what? Before his death?
Click on the thumbnails for a big (and in the case of the front, a very big) version of each:
