club is crowded tonight, friends and
musicians mingling and chatting, but
ultimately the artist is by herself
in a place she alone must inhabit.
As she listens, she allows the bluesy
music to overtake her subconscious
mind—seemingly disjointed trails
of color, images and movement marking
their fleeting presence with nuances
of emotion and something
just beyond.

It was 1975, a year marked by shock and

Patty Hearst was captured, tried and convicted
of bank robbery. And it was the year the
first broadcast of WFIT was heard across
the Florida Institute of Technology campus. |
