carol kleyn "return of the silkie"



Return of the what? Is this record a joke?! Here's the first lp cover I'm posting which actually features the artist. This is very rare, before tv and the internet you could get away with being an ugly musician, as long as you found some ridiculously hot woman to put on the cover of your album. Carol breaks the mold. She's sexy. She plays music. She goes topless on the beach, and she carries around a harp?! This ties into the implausibility observation of the previous post. How the fuck would little Carol Kleyn be able to heft a huge ass harp unto some rocks at a beach. And why? Imagine the damage the salt air would do to the instrument. Sexy? Yes. Intelligent? Hardly...

She looks like she has no legs... or legs made of rock... or legs made of strings...

A good close look at the harp (...there's a harp in the pix?) shows wear-n-tear from lots of use.

She dragged that harp all over & back.

"Little Carol Kleyn" is six feet tall....yes, beautiful..and perfectly capable of hauling around that 'bigass' harp!

Carol volunteered to help injured Sea Lions at a refuge and played her harp there frequently. She sat with her legs under her whenever she played and yes they were beautiful too. She took great care of her harp and she still plays the same one today 35 years latter! Oh by the way she had almost a 4.0 in Highschool and I am betting her IQ and her EQ are higher than yours!

From the Irish word for “seal.” The name is associated with a legend of a seal who becomes trapped in the form of a human (a “selkie or silkie” or seal maiden

The name of the album is referring to that and I believe is why the photographer choose not to show you her legs.
