And they still talk music with you.

Yes, the Works Progress Administration was a New Deal program during the Great Depression in the US. Among the initiatives of the WPA were many visual arts programs, including lots of murals the style of many of which remind me of this piece.

I thought "Klimt meets the WPA." Certainly Secessionist influences.

There was a guy in the classical music room in the Tower Records in El Toro, Orange County, SoCal, his name was Charlie, he was a walking Penguin Guide of classical music recordings. It was so great to chat with him about current releases, warhorse recordings, everything. I miss being able to chat with Charlie about the latest offering from Georg Solti.
