Can’t get my mind organized this morning, can’t seem to want to focus on any one thing. Had a lot of ideas for the blog but just lacked the desire to follow through so I am just going to play a song this morning accompanied by a tiny painting from back around 1995 called Harlequin. I always smile when I come across this piece.
The song is a favorite of mine, Dead Flowers, from the Rolling Stones and their 1971 album, Sticky Fingers. But the version below is from the late great Townes Van Zandt. I can’t say that it’s better or worse than the Stones version but it’s one that I like very much.
So give a listen and I’ll try to get my act together this morning…
Here you go: the perfect (short) read for a morning when your mind’s dangling!
Thanks, Linda. I enjoyed the article especially the mention of how the library at the Warburg Institute is arranged to promote intellectual serendipity. It reminds me of scouring the shelves in our local library as a kid, bouncing from subject to subject, each setting off little storms of thought.
I hadn’t heard this one before. I’ll have to add this to the list of all the great covers Townes did. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it. Townes in general and this cover in particular have both been favorites of mine for some time.
