Beautiful track. This remix is stripped down. Pure pure. Simple, effective, dope!

My parents are art collectors. As a child, I grew up with Leonard Baskin’s Everyman at the end of the long redwood hallway in my Santa Cruz Mountain home. Including the frame, he was almost 10’ tall. When I was younger, he was more of a menacing presence in the house, than a work of art. However, as I got older and made my way down the hall every morning in search of that first cup of coffee, I became quite fond of Everyman, because there were mornings when I felt just like him (adolescence will do that to a person). Everyman has since been donated to the University of Santa Cruz, along with the entire Baskin collection. 

We had a few of Baskin’s birds on the walls here and there, and the head-sculpture of a black crow. They too, were somewhat macabre in nature, exhibiting the raw Baskin energy.

Autumn always reminds me of Baskin, but especially, Baskin’s birds…which will appear in the next post.

Wowee you’re parents sound amazing
