Center44's SHOUT OUT "Up and Atom"

           Up and Atom
Center44 boutique Satyricon has just introduced a stunning group of one-of-a-kind model/sculptures of crystal atomic structures.    They were all handmade by Harvard University 
graduate students for their Crystallography classes during the late 1950s through the early 1970s and used for classroom demonstration and study, but are also very enjoyable as pure art. Most are identified and signed by the artist.  Here are a few examples and there are more in New This Week.

 "Love is Strange"  by  Lonnie Donegan

Lonnie Donegan was enormous in late '50s England with his unique DIY blend of early American jazz, folk, roots, and country known as skiffle. Performing with a washboard, tea-chest bass, and a cheap Spanish guitar, Donegan enpowered an entire generation of post-war Brits to pick up guitars - including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, and Queen to name a few. Best-known for his 1956 take on Leadbelly's "Rock Island Line," Donegan went on to chalk up twenty-four successive hits, including "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour (On The Bedpost Over Night)" and "Cumberland Gap." His lilting version of "Love Is Strange" puts a sweet spin on the 1957 Mickey & Sylvia hit. "Love Is Strange" was featured on Monica's October 9th show on WFMU and can be found on iTunes and Amazon.
