I keep 2 orbituaries on my wall: Mr. Rogers and Allen Ginsberg. This recording is not for everyone, but if you enjoy a live reading of "Howl" or "America," or own a copy of "Live From the Quilt," this is for you. I would say it reminds me of "Susan has AIDS and cookies," but I don't want to indebt myself to my Vox Humana professor like that. Beautiful voice on this Taylor man. I wish I had heard of him before becuase he reminds me so much of Ian of Ian and Sylvia. By the way if you have any listenable recordings of Ian and Sylvia, please contact me.
