recorded by Larry Goodell and now transferred from cassette tape to CD. My thanks to the poets and musicians who gave me permission to do my nickle-dime recordings, and my thanks to the Living Batch Bookstore, Jeff Bryan, Gus Blaisdell and to all who were employed there and loved the bookstore phenomenon during those creative years.

Reading from Abhorrences, Black Sparrow Press. A stunningly relevant and amazingly current reading by one of Americas truly great poets at the pinnacle of his finesse. duende spinoff#2 Philip Whalen, reading from On Bears Head, Harcourt Brace, at the Living Batch, 1989. Relaxed and powerful, the best from the best.

Drum Hadley tells of Billy Brown, Old Style Horsebreakin, and sings Drops of Water. Many great stories & poems. Nothing is left to be desired in this reading-performance. Ken Keppeler & Jeanie McLerie, who are Bayou Seco, do five songs of the West, a perfect compliment to Americas great rancher poet. duende spinoff#4 Gino Sky & Clifford Burke at the Living Batch 1991.
