Description

"My heart knows what the wild goose knows
And I must go where the wild goose goes
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
A wandering foot or a heart at rest?"
"Tonight I heard the wild goose cry
Wingin" his way through the lonely sky
Tried to sleep, but it warn't no use
"Cause I'm a brother to the old wild goose"

This original song chorus which I remember hearing many times throughout my life inspired the creation of this image. My composition is a digital manipulation and painting utilizing an original photograph I took of a white domestic goose at Confluence Park outside of Delta, Colorado and a background of a partly cloudy sky with flying wild Canadian Geese.

The number-one hit song written by Terry Gilkyson and originally sung by Frankie Laine as, "The Cry of the Wild Goose" was released as a 78 rpm vinyl record in early 1950 by Mercury Records. It remained in the number-one spot for two weeks. It was later preformed by Tennessee Ernie Ford worded slightly differently.
