Kevin Ayers
'Shooting at The Moon' by Galen Ayers
A fascinating article review over at Aquarium Drunkard with links to the new book about Kevin Ayers and his songs lovingly researched and meticulously archived and documented by his daughter
Galen Ayers said: ‘It has taken me the best part of 5 years to get Kevin’s musical legacy in order, and this book is set to be the crown jewel of the estate… Editing and curating this book I revisited, remembered and clarified many ‘unsolved mysteries’ that were missing in my understanding of my father’s life-narrative, and this has proven both transformative and necessary.’
“He never felt the need to explain himself, so I guess he couldn’t be misunderstood. He had no real interest in what ‘others’ thought of him.”
Galen Ayers
