I get to meet legendary beat poet musician, composer, and cultural evolutionary David Amram!

The high point of 2011 for me.

Thanks to:

Stan Carpenter for the photos.

Centenary College for hosting a week long visit...and

Matt Crowson, Shreveport's Cultural Ambassador for making this happen!

al & dave's american songbook

turns out we've been collaborating on this work for nearly a decade.

it all started when david gave me a short collection of his poems, two of those became songs that landed on my 2003 compilation called SKYSCRAPER.

david then gave me a stack of his poetry, and over time some 

eighteen songs have come forth. 

the photo above is where i work on creating the songs.

currently working on recording this body of work

the link below takes you to a you tube video of
"i used to dream"
please enjoy!
