I am stunned.
DON VAN VLIET was extraordinarily quiet about his personal life, particularly as he grew older, though his MS had been semi-acknowledged.
DON followed his original calling as a painter and quite a good one.
DON was a child prodigy, TV personality, recording artist, and painter all in one life. Good night,
DON, I really loved most of your albums
(but not so much
Trout Mask Replica ...)
