coming home from work -
the lonely businessman."
Not "music" in a traditional sense, but certainly musical.
Rather than a single song, this week I selected a recording of Jack Kerouac reading his haiku to jazzy instrumentation. About twenty(!) years ago, just at the beginning of the advent of compact discs and the coinciding death of vinyl, I purchased a box set of Jack Kerouac's records aptly entitle The Jack Kerouac Collection. Among the records in the collection was an album entitled "Blues & Haikus," which would seem to be the source of the excerpt heard on the above YouTube video. Unfortunately, not long after purchasing the records my player "died" and I shortsightedly never replaced it. Consequently, I've spent the last three years searching for a quality record player on which to play , no just this, but a number of vinyl recordings I've re-acquired in the past few years.
Stay Poetic!
