I haven't been able to catch up with Ralph Frank for the past few
days, but I'll stop by and remind him of tommorow's picnic. Looks
like for sure Guy Fawkes will come out, since Lady Spivey is away,
and George might ride out with me and Bro Dave. Not sure about Brian
Follicle and the Jones Avenue crew, or Dave, Vickie, Frank, Patrick,
and Curtis, but it'd be a big boost if they came, as virtually the
whole Playgrounds staff would be there [including me, Cassonya, Guy
and Brian, who all write columns there]. Should be a very good day.

*************************************************

Kaleidoscope interview with local artist Charles Fowler As I wrote earlier, Rusty and I prefer the location shoots, which get more interesting effects, such as this one filmed in the work studio of Charles Fowler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHWM3xu9I0w&t=10s "KALEIDOSCOPE" with host Will Dockery. Special guest, sculptor, artist, musician Charles Fowler. "KALEIDOSCOPE" is an art show featuring local artists/writers/musicians/crafts people/poets/photographers from the Chattahoochee Valley and surrounding areas. Created and produced by Rusty Wood for EATV Channel 7, Phenix City Cable-TV. Presented for your enjoyment and scrutiny. .

Charles Fowler at Pasaquan... https://www.thecolumbusite.net/post/finding-fowler-meet-the-curator-of-pasaquan ****************************************************** If you’ve heard of Pasaquan, chances are you’ve heard of Charles Fowler. The caretaker of Pasaquan, Charles is eclectic, magnetic, and charismatic without even trying. The first time I went to Pasaquan I was going as a photographer who just wanted to take a few shots and leave. I arrived and was greeted by Charles. He asked my group if we wanted to hear the story of Pasaquan and we said sure. I remember sitting in the front room surrounded by Eddie Owens Martin’s work, and I felt something I’d never experienced before. I was completely engaged. With the artwork, of course, but more importantly, with Charles. The way he told the story of St. EOM, the passion he had behind work that wasn’t even his own, his ability to connect with me, a complete stranger, evoked a sense of excitement and curiosity. I went to Pasaquan to indulge in a photo shoot, and left finding a story I knew I needed to tell. ********************************************************
Great write-up on Pasaquan? in The New York Times... http://www.nytimes.com/1987/12/13/books/philosopher-of-the-far-out.html?src=pm SAINT EOM wrote: Eddie Owens Martin Maybe some good can come out of this pain ridden life, Eddie would've wanted it that way. Indeed... and here's what the New York Times write-up had to say about Eddie Owens Martin's works that hang in the Library of Congress, the Museum of Modern Art, and in the Smithsonian Museum of American Art... ---------- "...MOST of the life of Eddie Owens Martin, a k a St. EOM, affirms the resilience of the human spirit without necessarily paying it any compliments... In 1957, Martin inherited part of the family farm in Marion County, Georgia... far-out philosopher and visionary artist and architect. In all three pursuits, he displayed a creativity, pertinacity and human decency one would not have predicted, as if some kernel of spiritual grace long carried by his reprobate self had burst and flowered. Such things are not unknown. Other so-called outsider artists, like St. EOM's fellow Georgian the Rev. Howard Finster and (greatest of them all) Sam Rodia of Watts Towers fame, have been lumpen types who unclenched mysterious powers late in life. But St. EOM's case has an extra measure of the uncanny..." [...] "...The alternately seductive and challenging, eloquent and profane, oddly black-inflected voice that speaks from the pages of ''St. EOM in the Land of Pasaquan.'' It was a voice that got its owner out of tremendous amounts of trouble, and it became a hypnotic instrument. St. EOM's fragrant and harrowing account of his cracker childhood is a small Southern classic. In more discursive passages, the voice lends almost equal persuasiveness to words of hard-earned wisdom and theories for which ''crackpot'' seems an epithet too mild." [...] "St. EOM's phantasmagorically designed and decorated little estate is a knockout. Its chockablock proliferation of exotic forms and motifs - Indian, American Indian, Easter Island, Islamic, mandala and arabesque and totem and pagoda - ought to be just a colorful mess, but somehow it appears to possess a lovely, rhythmical order. St. EOM was a deliberate man and a perfectionist, capable of tearing down to start again. His work displays a tension between molten fantasy and cool discipline. The visual splendor of the place he called Pasaquan, though plenty eccentric, is no more to be patronized than the Pasaquoyan ever permitted himself to be..." "...But what an American life!" It's true. There is no cog on the ratchet of American rugged individualism beyond that of St. EOM, and his disaffected creative drive is archetypal for much that is strong in American art.'"I built this place to have somethin' to identify with," he said, in a sort of pledge of unallegiance befitting an Abstract Expressionist, "Because there's nothin' I see in this society that I identify with or desire to emulate." Inevitably, such extreme alienation is paired with an opposing hunger for recognition, spelled out by St. EOM with his usual directness:''I wanna prove to society that even though I've been ostracized all my life, I have good qualities and good potential.'' He played life's game with some strange cards, but proved in the end to hold a full deck..." -Peter Schjeldahl in The New York Times

So you did post under the name ironywaves, will.

So much for your claim of only posting under the name ‘will dockery’.

I used Irony Waves for a while to promote the band.

That's old news.

You have never had a band.  
You have had ahazard group of people who had instrumenents, who kind of strummed along to your pitiful vocals.  But you have NEVER had a band.  
But thanks for finally admitting to your other names you’ve posted under.  

You are such a liar.

I've had a couple of bands, you're confused again.

Sure, I have.

Again, you seem confused again tonight.
