'Firewood Sac Roaring' & Bowie; Murals by Spekchella.

These are some of the 40 murals by Cornelius Spek from site near Palais Royale painted in deep Covid winter 2021. The 1977 cover of the Fleetwood Mac & Cheese album 'Rumours' is between musical and flame references mostly from the 1970's. Some of you may recognize David Bowie (Bowie’s 1973 album Aladdin Sane) on the right and Violent Femmes - Blister in the Sun on the left. Each panel is 4' x 8'.

All the musical clues on these art works are laced with fire. Blazing, Hot, Sparkles, Inflame, Inferno, Sizzler, Flaming Sticks, Burned , Flames. There must be at least 20 musical references.
