This guy is amazing. Thank you for much for posting all of these sensational videos. Until recently, I had only known him for his Joni Mitchell work. Then I saw his 'Cara Viaggio' and other films at the MIT List Visual Arts Center show, "Virtuoso Illusion. " Now I must see EVERYTHING! Thanks again.
