Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh (APOD 26 Jun 2006)

One small bit of "trivia" about this painting: Don McLean wrote and performed a song, "Starry Night" about Vincent van Gogh. You may have already seen the PowerPoint file about it, but if not, send me a private message with your email address and I'll send it to you (it's about 2.7MB). It has both sound (Don McLean performing "Starry Night) and visuals of several other van Gogh paintings.

Hi, i too remember a song , just a few words..'there is a warm wind blowing the stars around'...this really happens on hot mountain nights! I wonder if that is what Vincent saw.....
