First post

Bottle of Starlight, named after a song I wrote for my daughter, a lullabye of sorts to help her get to sleep.  We could maybe all use a bottle of starlight, to illuminate our dark corners.  Maybe we'll find out. 

In the moment (for the last many moments, actually) I've been entranced again by my 30 year fascination with the late great Harry Nilsson.  Currently I've been mining the depths of the wonderful "For The Love of Harry" blog, just amazed at how much rare and unreleased material is there for the love and taking.  Check it out if you think you are or want to be a HarryHead:

Also noteworthy is the fact that Netflix has a streaming offering of the "Who is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talking About Him)?" documentary.  I own the thing and have watched it twice, and it is (to steal a phrase) a heartbreakingly great work of staggering genius.  Highly recommended.
