A tip of the hat to my good friend Blair Blake, for mentioning my book Da Vinci in America on the Toolband.com website. Regular readers here will be familiar with my respect (read ‘awe’) for TOOL, so it’s a buzz to be linked from their website. Anybody not familiar with TOOL’s music should begin their education now. And Blair’s a handy wordsmith himself, you can check out his book of visionary poetry – IJYNX – by purchasing it from the ‘Shop’ section of Toolband.com.
