Cool! The decision to go 30 seconds is fun—the spoken word track suddenly gets a kind of beat vibe, amid the freer jazz wildness.

When I got the e-mail that this had been done I was very pleased. I had some reservations about the quality of the sample from a technical standpoint and then put it up anyway just figuring someone who wanted to use it would just have to supply a lot of noise, and you did, bless you :-).

I agree with Gurdonark, this has a real beat feel to it. The copy of “Howl” I have on my office floor is smiling :-). I’ve written poetry my whole life but never dreamed of performing it. This website is putting all kinds of crazy ideas in my head and I am loving it. :-)

Many, many thanks for this.

Your notes are a bit saddening re the meaning of this. If it’s my words, I can give you the English Major discussion, you need only ask :-).

your recital makes perfect sense, I totally got that - what confused me was my own mix of the thing. It was one of those things that just “came out” and I was confused by my own results.

Well that works perfectly then because your treatment makes perfect sense to me, unexpected perfect sense, which is, incidentally, the best possible kind.

Sorry for the confusion, I’ve been known to over-think things from time to time ;-).

I think you should resist the explanation of the your words.

While you have a reason for writing them you immediately limit the audiences imagination by presenting them with only one possibiltiy of the truth.

I had applied this to someone i know but now i cant stop thinking its about a novelist and i have lost the ownership of them.

But very nice to see you have found a muse though Ess.

you know I just gave away several hundred books and over 1,000 LPs - but I kept 5 albums. One was an original Howl reading ;)

Why am I not surprised ;-)? My favorite Ginsburg poem however is not so iconic, it is “A Supermarket in California.” Food shopping and Walt Whitman, can you think of a more perfect combination?

I like a lot of A.G., but a “howl” reading seems like a keeper to me, too.

I like it . When i hear the combination of Jazz and poetry for some reason i always i always picture Danny Kaye singing Coreography

Hold on a sec…

well much has already been written in previous reviews about the “Beat Generation” tincture of this offering and I echo that as well…but even without references - it still packs a swift humanistic punch, short and effective…both intellectual and emotional.
