Subject: RE: BS?: Why are musicians such night owls?
Mmmm. This is yummy.

I'm reminded of the work of an artist I interviewed several years ago in Santa Fe. Doug Dawson, I believe was his name. He was an impressionist, which we generally associate with sun-drenched scenes, but his study of light was the light reflected in urban street scenes by night. I'm remembering a couple in particular that were absolutely brilliant in the way they picked up the reflection of the street light on damp pavement. Just that brief brush with his work permanently altered the way I look at night time. I am so aware now of the planes of light and the reflections, especially when the pavement is wet.

His work looks like jazz feels...and like this thread is starting to feel...
