Bukka White @Andromeda

way old Van Morrison links

devo.

Ian Christy from a link @ Sonny Liew's truly Amazing Squash Rental Agency —itself in turn from a link @ the always mind-expanding DrMenlo. Sonny Liew leading also to La Luz de Jesus Gallery and somehow back around to Mark Ryden and thence to Sympathy for The Record Industry. Ryden's links leading to e White leading to Joe Sorren leading to Joel Nakamura {all these links are knockout art sites, Joe Sorren's Look Homeward, Aphid, it just seems portentous pompous and pretentious to keep scrambling for superlatives, plus it gets in the way of the appreciation. the whole time I was doing this packed-full paragraph I was listening to the supremely commanding Charlie Musselwhite at Blues MP3's thru Andromeda. now it's Elvin Bishop and Charlie Musselwhite.}
