What a wonderful story. It put me in mind of Antony's live cover of "If It Be Your Will." The song lifted out of him as if it was being born at that moment.

I cannot wait for tomorrow night.

Of course, the show is Saturday.

I am a dumb f*ck.

The photo above is a few croppings, a candle and a dead prostitute away from a Caravaggio painting.

I'm off to Itunes to check this out.

Good stuff, Charles. Wish I'd had the funds to pick up a ticket.

It was, simply, one of the finest nights of artistic expression I have ever witnessed. His voice, his humor, his incredible band, the arrangements, the acoustics, everything was just so damn lovely.

Funny. I had only heard his music for the first time two days earlier. I had no idea he was performing here until five hours before the show began. I somehow obtained tickets. I knew not a single song but was absolutley mesmorised the entire evening.

Nice Charles. This is artist is truly a gift and truly gifted. I heard the interview with him on NPR and he was so eloquent and opened me up to a larger way of viewing the world and individuals such as himself, who are immeasurably important contributions to the human race.
I missed his show as I was out of town, but it looks as if others enjoyed his lovely spirit and devastatingly beautiful voice.
