Now him and Zappa can jam for eternity!

Light floats down day river on a red raft of blood, night blocks out the heavens like a big black shiny bug... It's a hard place that I'm living, but I'm doing well well. Des Howerth, Portland, Or. (503) 926-1061

goodbye don,thank you,sleep tight

I saw Capt. Beefheart twice in Denver, at Marvelous Marvs small club - poor tech support, Clear Spot had just come out. At the end of the set Zoot Horn Rollo hopped around with his double guitar and knocked down the mic stands. Of Don's many memorable songs/poetry I remember best "Big-Eyed Beans from Venus" (oh my oh my). I'm just so shocked to hear of his passing, and want his family to know his music has lasted all these years, rattling around in my memory as I survey the deserts. What a great performer and sage!
