Couples 1:35

Here's the somewhat forgotten Modernist poet Carl Sandburg in a weird mode. I still don't know what this elusive poem of his, titled "Couples," is describing, but I felt compelled to make it into this short song anyway. That's what the Parlando Project does. We take various words (mostly literary poetry) and combine them with original music. We've …

There's more on this, and over 800 other combinations of various words (mostly literary …

Libertad! Igualdad! Fraternidad! 2:07

2:07

This William Carlos Williams short poem of disappointment and survival seemed apropos for this American January, so now I've made it into a song, just me with my rough-hewn voice with a lonely acoustic guitar. "Dreams are not a bad thing" he says. Perhaps it will speak to you too. The Parlando Project takes various words (mostly literary poetry) an…

What if one of the Three Wise Men left a Yelp review after their Epiphany visit to the manger? Presented that way it sounds like a sketch-comedy bit, doesn't it? But T. S. Eliot had an ear for poetic dialog, and he wrote a poem that approaches the sacred on the back of a sore camel. I took Eliot's poem and performed it with some original music yest…
