Ruby, oh Ruby. She sits cross-legged on a rug in her room and watches the wallpaper slide. In her mind are the sorts of things dreamt by sea creatures. But the things she hears! Music that hasn't been made with such an air of vintage and heartfelt wist since America came down from the frantic high of the '60s and the outrageous trip of the '70s.
