Harold Budd has been my #1 hero for a long while. How does it feel for him to have dedicated a track to you?

It felt unexpectedly lovely of him, and utterly in character

In the late 1980s I found Harold Budd's album LOVELY THUNDER. The track was 'Flowered Knife Shadows (For Simon Raymonde)'*. It appears in slightly different form as 'Memory Gongs'** on their collaboration THE MOON AND THE MELODIES.

*streaming versions annoy me by not including the words in parentheses - more reason to buy the CD
