A Conversation with Bo Ramsey (continued)

PM: We're very fond, too, of the photographic and film work of Sandy Dyas, who's been one of the great chroniclers of the Iowa scene.

"It makes a good hideout..."

Bo Ramsey

BR: Yeah.

PM: Let's talk about her.

Bo Ramsey

BR: Well, Sandy is a good friend. And we go back to the early '80s. She's been such a part of the music scene in Iowa, and is a really good photographer. She is doing a book of photographs that's going to be published, and I was thinking about it the other day, what a great thing that she's documented a lot of what has taken place in the fields of Iowa. I'm just really proud of her for doing that.

PM: Yeah. She's become a friend of my sister Kate's, who's one of the designers of Puremusic.

BR: That's cool. Sandy is just a delightful person and really a fine artist.

[We're planning to do an interview with Sandy Dyas when her book, Down to the River: Portraits of Iowa Musicians, hits the streets next spring. (Its title comes from a Dave Moore song.) The photograph of Bo from 2005 that we led with (on the intro to the interview) will be in the book, as will this portrait of Kevin Gordon from 1991.]
