play wright adrienne kennedy who wrote the play "funnyhouse of a negro" in 1964, wrote a play "sleep deprivation chamber" in 1995, about her son getting pulled over for a broken tail light and harrassed by police. a little prescient in one way , but in another the violence has been continuous

I almost forgot ..To have great friends is such a wonderful thing.

Our friends & former gallery owners Nick & Nancy R. had to make the trip to upper Bergen Co. yesterday to get Nick's 97 year old Mom to the doctors.

They had no idea what we were dealing with Thursday or Friday.

When we got home, there was crumb cake (the best) from Reinhold's Bakery in Waldwick,NJ on our back porch.

They are such thoughtful people & we love them so. (and crumb cake too)!

By a certain point most artists works revert to thematic influences.

Look at Pink Floyd's catalog.

It's great the way Nick composes with Warren Ellis & The Bad Seeds are remarkable in the way they interpret his ideas.

The CD I mentioned I'm waiting for is Nick solo ..."Idiot Prayer Live at Alexandria Hall."

Watched the video a few weeks ago.

Just Nick and a piano.
Stunning, emotional.

Be careful to learn to sing properly.

My brother was a heavy metal front man for years.
Damaged his throat, (polyps) by not doing so. Ruined his voice just before they were due to be signed to a label deal in the 80's
Eventually he went to lessons from NJ vocal coach Lori Blois in NJ.

Check this out though. Melissa Cross. She's amazing
