My art is infused with music. I got a rich education in music living in the small northern town where people had the largest record collections of anyone I've yet to meet. I remember some gathering at the bandstand when a Coureville (?) boy played the guitar and  sang like Cat Stevens -Wild World and Hard Headed Woman. How does that happen in a little town like that? Us Cochrane kids LOVED music.  I always listen to music when I paint, For example, if I'm thinking of the north and painting moons, water and firs, I'm probably  listening to some classic Neil Young! Here are some northern, music inspired paintings.
