From the vaults - Circa 1978 - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Perform "The Promise"


From the vaults - Circa 1978 - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band perform The Promise. The video was sparely shot in black and white. Bruce's voice is hoarse and guttural.
A definitive statement on broken promises and lost dreams.

I am back from Berlin steeped in imagery and inspiration and new work. Today, books are on my mind as my latest painting was inspired by the Selexyz Dominicanen, a bookstore in Maastricht, the Netherlands, located in a deconsecrated Dominican Church. Also, Michael Krasny interviewed Phil Cousineau about his latest book Wordcatcher which includes over twenty images of my artworks inspired by Phil's marvelous word histories.
