I haven't read On the Road. I think my son has a copy; I must borrow it. Kerouac looks and sounds like a strange sort of man.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I'm not as big a fan of the folk singers that you often post. But I like all of the above. Now I just have to find a time to listen. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I enjoyed the video of Kerouac. He has an interesting affect. I have never read his writings, but maybe it's about time to do that.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nick!
you have such a diverse repetoire I love that
ReplyDeleteSandy
I love your eclectic taste in music Nick.
ReplyDeleteLiz: On the Road is really a good read. Matter of fact, for me all of Jack’s books a wonderful reads.
ReplyDeleteSquirl: I hope you find the time to listen to The Bird—I mean Charlie, not his song by that title.
Carol: Please give Jack’s writing a try. I began reading him when I was 18 or 19 and have never stopped. I believe I have read every story, poem, and play that he ever wrote, plus quite a bit that has been written about him. Does than make me a “fan” of Jack Kerouac?
i beati : Thank you, Sandy. I suppose that’s one of the reasons that in my profile I claim to be “A Man for All Seasons.”
Akelamalu: Thank you! Did you know that I really enjoy classical music, too?
This is turning into the cultural centre for the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteJames Higham : Thank you, sir. That’s quite a compliment!
ReplyDeleteI am wondering where in the world I've been. This was my first time ever hearing JKerouac, what a kool kat (snapping my fingers)! I also delved back just a little into other coffee house arrangements = WOW lots of wonderful tunes and info TFS! Give Alex a scratch behind the ears for me :)

ReplyDeletePatty Szymkowicz : Thanks for your comments about the Coffeehouses. I appreciate them.
ReplyDeleteJack Kerouac sort of grows on one. I think I’ve read everything that he ever wrote. After I obtained recordings of Jack reading his works, the voice I now hear in my head as I reread his writings is his voice, his cadence. It really makes a difference in the reading.
I’ll scratch Alex’s ear for you as soon as the furball awakens from his morning catnap
