Description
Moondog: A Life of Music and Eccentricity
This biography celebrates one of the most improbable lives of the twentieth century, that of Louis Thomas Hardin, aka Moondog. Born blind and homeless, Moondog rose to prominence in both major label pop music recordings and symphonic concerts, leaving a lasting impact on popular culture.
With his unique melodic compositions, Moondog influenced artists such as Philip Glass, whose preface appears in the book. A wide-ranging compilation of Moondog's recordings is included with every purchase, featuring four Madrigals played by notable musicians.
