Alan “Blind Owl” Wilson

I made this for Alan in honor of his 80th Birthday. It’s an Ai voice recording of Alan’s real voice reading his essay Grim Harvest, sampled from the Marina Bokelman interview. 🌲🦉💚

Some photos of the Mississippi John Hurt museum before it burned down this week. It was a historic landmark located along the Mississippi Blues Trail on County Road 109 in rural Avalon, MS.

Alan backstage at McFarlin Auditorium at SMU, University Park, TX, June 17, 1968. Photo courtesy of James A. Long.

Please consider making a donation for Alan to Save the Redwoods League today for Giving Tuesday! 💚🦉🌲
