My Mother's Red Shawl - El Rebozo Colorado
Art Bergmann - Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist
hey alex, art here...I just don't know what
to say about yr mother’s red. It smelled so new but I could tell by the quality
it was ancient, or it imbued a sense of wisdom somehow...red shawl, red
shawl...over the last few years I have been walking through Aleksandr
Solzhenitsyn's The Red Wheel, his version of the events leading up
to the earth-shaking Russian Revolution. It includes documentation of
everything said by the various characters involved, mixed with fictional
stories from all facets of Russian life...from peasants, workers, revolutionaries
to the liberal squawkers in the endless debates at the Duma...this is what I
think of when I remember wearing the red shawl as you gave me no historical
facts regarding said shawl.
Editor's note: When Bergmann first put on the red shawl he said, "I think I am in my Mahatma Gandhi mode." This was the first exposure.
