Music: Heaven & Earth - "Refuge"
Three and a half years ago I posted about Heaven & Earth and their record Refuge. I hardly know anything about about the group, however the names of the two singer/songwriters are Pat Gefell and Jo D. Andrews and the record is from 1973. How to describe the music? Folkpop I guess. I'll let the experts give it a go in the comments if they like. If someone has additional information about the group and record it is most welcome. Anyway, I think it's a great record. Have a go!
UPDATE: The show is over.
Sorry for the inconvenience but if you are truly interested mail me (martinklasch AT gmail DOT com) and I'll consider making an exception to that rule.

Magazine Covers: Olle Eksell, part 2

In 1948 Olle Eksell created this cover for a Swedish literary magazine called "utsikt". The style is very much like some you'll find in Alvin Lustig's works I think. I haven't found proof of it but could Eksell been a student of Lustig's? He studied in LA after the war and Lustig taught there at the time...
