An evening with Richard Buckner, 8/17/11

Richard Buckner, Great American Music Hall, SF 8/17/11

Richard Buckner's 8/17 Great American Music Hall show w/the Crooked Jades was truly captivating- with hypnotic moments of rhythmic musical crescendos.  The vibrating low E, the harmonium and lap guitars, the maracas that fell just behind the beat- it was intimate, sincere, and often surreal.   No chair this time,  he was up and swaying... alive.  A majority of the songs new,  trance state eyes, interesting orange pants, and lilting vocal highs and lows that gently crashed in that Buckner way- up and down the twisted hills of San Francisco.  Unforgettable.

Hmmm... My book came out on Kindle and I didn't even know about it. Whelp... *scratches head* Ahhh... YAY?  Though I'm not sure if Kindle is the right choice or the best platform for "Sweet Charlotte's Seventh Mistake"... I do hope she is loved by it's enthusiasts.  Maybe they'll become curious about the mysterious black-n-white cut-off layouts and give the paper version a look-see.

There are times as a working artist where one learns to let go of their work.  

Full color art, empheria, and collage surround prose in decorative text.

SC7M is all grown up and I wish her the best.  Go get 'em!

The Mother's Day/Cinco de Mayo rush is over.  Now I can play around with some ideas I've been toying with all year.  I think I'll have a new line by September- and maybe even a t-shirt!
