Turtles Have Short Legs on XRAY #112 - Cornwall

<< Turtles Have Short Legs
As I head off to Cornwall, England, for the opening of the Ithell Colquhoun retrospective exhibition at Tate St. Ives, I leave you with this mix of music by artists connected to Cornwall or inspired by Cornwall (or both).
The cover art features Ithell Colquhoun's drawing of the ancient Boscawen-Un stone circle on the Penwith peninsula in far southwest Cornwall. It (like the rest of Penwith) is a magical place.
