JSngry Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Among other things, he was the first I ever heard twkl about Monk being genuinely institutionalized. Ramsey had done a gig at the hospital where Monk was, and said that Monk would just sit there quietly all day, ocasionally psinting. I asked him what dId Monk paint, and he said, sky, just blue sky.
