I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone by Richard Brautigan I finally ended up describing you as a movie I saw when I was a child in Tacoma Washington. I guess I saw it in 1941 or 42, somewhere in there. I think I was seven, or eight, or six. The movie showed electricity like a young Greek god, coming to the farmer to take away forever the dark ways of his life. Suddenly, the farmer had electric lights to see by when he milked his cows in the early black winter mornings. The family got to listen to the radio & have a toaster and lots of bright lights to sew dresses and read the newspaper by. It was really a fantastic movie and excited me like listening to the Star Spangled Banner, or seeing photographs of Roosevelt, or hearing him on the radio "... the President of the United States... " I wanted electricity to go everywhere in the world. I wanted all the farmers in the world to be able to listen to Roosevelt on the radio.... And that's how you look to me.

He's the kind of man that you stumble across at a random folk festival just when you're thinking about going home. But you don't go home, you stay and then scour the internet for the next chance to see him!

He's not heavily promoted because he doesn't want or need to be :)

one could ask the same question about soooo many artists. always seems a shame though. having just discovered him myself today, i'm certainly disappointed not to have stumbled upon him sooner ;)
