George Ault
Just discovered George Ault. I think his nighttime/winter stuff is right up there with Hopper, perhaps even more accurately desolate.

Eric Taylor Has New Music
So that makes the world a better place. Article here, more info here. Have written many miles of words to Scuffletown, particularly “Delia/Bad News.”
Encore Tent Show Radio Tonight – Jesse Cook and the Blue Canvas Orchestra
If you’re within range of one of these stations tonight (Saturday, October 15th) we hope you’ll join Mike as he hosts another edition of Tent Show Radio from Big Top Chautauqua. Information on streaming the show here.
The musical guests will be Jesse Cook and the Blue Canvas Orchestra, and in this episode’s monologue – delivered from the backstage dressing room with the one lonely little lightbulb burnin’ – Mike discusses the fact that he tends to
