Did a charcoal sketch today to honor Jim Gordon and his music. I cared about him.

The world will never see another drummer with his touch and style. Eric Clapton said he was his best drummer.

I just watched an interesting movie called "Mad to be Normal" about the life of R.D.Lang. About controversial explorations and discoveries in psychiatry. It's on Hoopla.com and Kanopy.com for free (with your library card) if you're interested.

I’ve read some books about schizophrenia and watched a couple of movies…such a terrible disease.
