As I noted on an ILE DC thread--I ended up going to the Mingering Mike panel discussion at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. It was pretty interesting (and not as awkward as I thought it might be for Mike). Mike did "outsider" art-- soul and funk album covers and some reel to reel tapes and cassettes of his own music from 1966 to 1977 I think. Mike was dressed as a surgeon in gown and mask as he wants to keep his identity secret.... Images of Mike's artwork were projected behind them.
Oh, Mike said that last summer Peter Buck asked him to do an album cover for him and that he drew it in August 2014.
