I like the Jelly Roll Morton idea! I didn't know whether my artist (Andrea Giulimondi) might need a more definite idea?! Maybe he'd be happy to figure something out from the lyrics...

maybe a scene, with a boat on the water, and the banner would work?

Yeah, I think so! My other idea was a mountain stream scene, which he references in the song... not very "traditional" though! Scenery tattoos seem quite trendy at the mo...
