The only good bomb is a Phil Bomb! So much to be said about Phil. With the flood of stories and interviews in celebration of his life, you realize what a privelge it was to have been alive at the same time as him. Aside from sharing the same cultural melieu, there’s no direct connection between Phil and Allen. Crossing paths in the earliest of years, at one of the acid test parties, no doubt, and as Allen danced on stage as they jammed at the Human be-in, in 1967.
However, rumor has it Phil, at the tender age of 19, went about setting “Howl” to music This would have been the late 50s not long after Howl’s publication. Would love for that to surface! Anyone out there know?
**So we finally found out, it's by Robert Chevalier. (thank you David Lemieux!) ***
“look out of any window.. “
Fare thee well, Phil.

Well, both robot libraries are stocked and ready for lending! Adult books are on top in the robot’s head and children and young adult books are in the body below. (Easier reach for the little ones!)
Enjoy…

Well, Marsh Wildman has officially installed our Little Free Robot Library at our new home in East Sac! The Robot adopted a Robot Dawg and we now have a Dawg Stick Little Free Library!
After the concrete dries for 24 hours, we can load the libraries up with books and sticks!
Be on the lookout soon for our Keith Haring Sculptures to be installed as well as a little bench.
Everything should be finished before our nuptials!
Thank you so very much, Marsh, for your friendship and your amazing and creative artistry!

I have been at a rare loss for words since the passing of Tony Bennett still amazed that I had ever met him, much less that I got to spend time with him, talking about music, art or family, let alone record or share the stage with him or that I would be granted such privileged proximity to witness his more substantial collaborations with my wife, Diana Krall.
