Re: [PLAN_B_analog_blog] Bebe Barron's last interview on youtube

2008-04-21 by Norman Fay

The clip reminds me a little of clips of the elderly Louise Brooks
being interviewed, a very elderly and as you say somewhat
discombobulated person who nevertheless still has "it" in some way,
some powerful charisma which is still evident.

It's always terrible when a person like this passes, all those
memories are gone, and a thread which connects us to awesome
creativity from the past is broken.  If you knew this person, Peter,
then you must be having a hard time over this right now, and I'm very
sorry to read about it.
