“Anthology of Unknown Music, vol.1” at the Bolinas Museum.

 Round Two!  “Anthology of Unknown Music, vol.1” is now on exhibit at the Bolinas Museum in Marin County.

Sonny Smith’s remarkable show, “Anthology of Unknown Music, vol.1”, exhibited earlier this year at the Minnesota Street Project Galleries in San Francisco.

It looks like this: A large complex of galleries (scroll down to the January 30 posting for more on the SF show).

The new venue looks like this.

Here’s a basic description of the show:

The juke box has recorded songs by the various (fictious) musicians portrayed in the show                   

All the songs are written and recorded by Sonny

                                     

Here are just a few shots from the opening (My apologies for all the artists I missed or couldn’t get good photos of).
