Pho­to­graph by Lydia See

Trans­fig­u­ra­tions for me was all dia­monds and no rough, and I only saw six of the acts. One of the high­lights was being there last Fri­day at Diana Wortham The­ater for Will Old­ham / Bon­nie “Prince” Billy, who played a long set with lots of rare gems, includ­ing this song writ­ten by Gayle Cald­well and recorded as the title track by Frank Sina­tra on his 1968 Cycles LP. I’m going to be on the look­out for that on vinyl, but until then this will have to do. He intro­duced this as a ‘reces­sion song.’
