Blues from Paradise!


Ted Hughes, from his poem "The Howling of Wolves":


The Howling of Wolves

Is without world.

What are they dragging up and out on their long leashes of sound
That dissolve in the  mid-air silence?
....
The wind sweeps through and the hunched wolf shivers.
It howls you cannot say whether out of agony or joy



Dust My Broom, Library of Congress

  1. I see a beautiful signed Howlin Wolf 78 above. Would this happen to be yours? And would you, by any chance, consider parting with it?

  2. It is indeed my most prized 78! I am very unlikely to part with it, but I am prepared to consider an exceptional offer. It really belongs in a museum. It must be one of the graetest records ever made.

    Let me know your email and I will write.
