Plainfield Live Poetry On Summer Hiatus...

...Summer is a busy time for all of us, and with the increase in prices of...well, EVERYTHING, it's time to take a break.

To be honest, attendance at this poetry reading has been few and far between for a long time. I don't have the time to do much by way of promoting it, other than online, and interest seems to be very low.

If there is any future interest in starting up poetry readings out here in the un-wild West, maybe we can try again, but for now, I'm going to focus on my writing online and let the live readings go.

To all who've come out and spent some fun time reading with me, thank you. It's been a pleasure, and I wish all of you the best.

Sincerely,

Dan

My New Song - Saxophone - "Pacha Mama Prayer"

It's kind of New Age Blues with a Native American beat, I'm really pleased with the way it turned out. (Of course, there's no way it could be performed live - it's all recorded in three separate tracks on the computer)

It's kind of New Age Blues with a Native American beat, I'm really pleased with the way it turned out. (Of course, there's no way it could be performed live - it's all recorded in three separate tracks on the computer) I play a 1966 Selmer Bundy. The below song was recorded using the sax and my laptop. Percussion is my hands on the table, and I'm doing vocals. The software used is Audacity & LAME MP3 encoder, both of which are free. I recorded this in three separate parts, first the saxophone, then the vocals, then the percussion. Time from melody concept to full recording was one hour. (Pacha Mama = South American equivalent to Gaia, the Earth Mother Goddess.)

I call my sax "Bello".
