Easy 88. The inspiration for the title actually came from a real bull riding event some 30 years ago. A young bull rider had drawn a bull by the name of Double Purple at a large fair and rodeo in Billings Montana. Double Purple had not been rode, and at that time in history, large number scores in bull riding did not happen. The young bull rider called his score when he found out who he had drawn and said to his bull riding friends Easy 88 Well it came to pass... He rode Double Purple and came up with the score of 88 points....thus the name for the sculpture....PS... the young bull rider was my future husband. That’s the story.
