Claudine

Claudine Longet

She's laying down with big cats. The smell is overwhelming — cigarettes, orange juice, and some level of joy. Grace, too, but how can she possibly know?

The Groover

Ramsey Lewis

Raw fish with big shoulders; saturated conversation; sailboats and flickering night.

The Best of Sonny & Cher

Sonny & Cher
