Professor Sun Ra

[ish mailian]

Thanks, man. A big Kirk and Sun Ra Fan, and was thrilled to discover that
Kirk was the major influence of Ian Anderson.  was at the music festival
outside reo, in niteroi, and so many were playing....who would have thought
so many would be playing....and then, after a little seu jorge, came this
sun ra...well, i was impressed...and then ....a church type band....it was
too much memory flooding, like the finger of god from the clouds ....not
Calvinist but graceful god of spiritual catholic,liberation, yeah...
