| I listen to music daily, for hours on end, and with so much
exposure, I feel if I have an opinion about any musician or singer, it
carries some weight. However, when it comes to critiquing art, I prefer to leave it up to the big guns, like Sister Wendy. Note: Zoom views open in a pop-up window. |

Sister Wendy appeared on Chicago's PBS station, WTTW, and
if you've ever had the pleasure of seeing her, you know what I mean when
I say I could never compare to her depth of knowledge, original insights,
and raw charm. Odd, perhaps, that this big fan of the likes of David Bowie, could also be drawn to an elderly nun teaching him how to better understand and appreciate art, but there you have it. Following are some of my winning picks, and a couple of Sister Wendy's, too. |
