Good Bye, Nikki
But is it Art? was tremendously happy to include the brilliant Swell Maps version of “14th Floor” on the recently released “Someone to Share My Life With”. Also Nikki Sudden was kind to let us use an alternative version of “If I Could Write Poetry”. It is very sad news that Nikki passed away after a show in New York last Saturday. RIP.
