Hi, gang, Does anyone know Van Gogh's birthday? I'm crawling with reference books of all kids, even have one art book devoted exclusively to his portraiture, but all I can find is a *year*; I want to know the *day*; and I can't do a search cuz my broswer is dead.
I've always thought someone should do a medley or pastiche with "Turbulent Indigo" (the song), Don McLean's "Starry, Starry Night" and (almost certainly the least known of the three, but it's great, if you like his style) Michael Frank's "Vincent's Ear". On a local radio station that I listen to, KKSF (mixed light jazz and vocals format), which *used* to throw in an occasional Joni (mostly "Lucky Girl" from DED), they have this thing where you can drop them a card with a suggestion for a trio of songs with a unifying theme, or just because you like the songs, and I've been tempted for years to send them this one... But I always wanted to time it for VG's birthday... Thanks, Walt
