 I thought these pages would be a
good place to pull together the various pieces I have
written about Don, the Magic Band and their music.
So here they are. I hope to keep adding to this
list.
Through The Eyes Of Magic by John French
My review of the most important book to have been written about Beefheart, the man and his music, so far.
Read about it on the Radar Station
Don Van Vliet and Agostinho Rodrigues
Don often mentioned working with a sculptor when he was very young but there seemed to be very little evidence about his claims ... until now.
Read about what I have found put about this elusive sculptor on the Radar Station
The
search for Herb Bermann
The co-writer of many songs on 'Safe As Milk' but considered by some
people not to be a real person at all. The mystery has now been solved.
