Description
For my wife, this charcoal pencil on paper artwork was completed Dec 20, 2020.
"According to legendary J Geils front man Peter Wolf, there are 3 great mysteries surrounding Willy DeVille.
• Who exactly was he?
• How did he create his magical stage aura where time seemed to stand still?
• And despite breaking out of CBGBs, despite being named Rolling Stone Best New Artist, despite selling a million albums worldwide over 30 years and despite being nominated for an Academy Award for the theme to the movie Princess Bride, how can he still be so unknown?"
