I don't know why but I love this guy's stuff. I even named a rag "Saturnian" in his honor.

I know he's about as unconventional as you can get (allegedly believed he was from the planet Saturn) but I would like to think that I'm not totally crazy/have a tin ear and there's actually something to this music, assuming it is music.

If you don't know what I'm talking about search "Sun Ra" on youtube.
