Dirty Street Cripples
Not the
name of an indie rock group. This appellation was used by someone in the
establishment disability world describing grassroots activists (I'm just the
messenger here). These Dirty Street Cripples were pushing congressional
legislation to protect those who couldn't help themselves and to give people
with disabilities better lives. This includes people who are warehoused in
nursing homes, as well as thoughtful articulate people whose limitations keep
them from going out in the world. Why is she smiling? I didn't ask her to have
a serious face to create a more impactful photographic. I'm just the messenger.
This is someone who enjoys life and being in this world.

Hangology and Creativity: David Amram at the Merc
So I'm standing outside in the coldy cold cold, rapping and riffing with this white goateed cool cat talking about jazz shows and catching the old cats as they come through town.
So I'm standing outside in the coldy cold cold, rapping and riffing with this white goateed cool cat talking about jazz shows and catching the old cats as they come through town.
I told him that I saw David Amram and he was like "he's so great and the last couple years I haven't caught the birthday celebrations." I'm thinking "hey I was glad to catch this one and to catch Amram at El Chapultepec about 10+ years ago for the celebration of Jack Kerouac's 'On the Road' 50th anniversary." And me and Hilary were BFF's with Cassady's ex, Catherine, during the show, sitting in the front booth like VIP's, almost.
Amram playing 2 penny whistles. Didja know he taught Rahsan Roland Kirk howta
play two saxes at a time? didja?
And he's telling me about Pat Metheny and I'm talkin about the "Return to Forever" reunion at the Paramount where I spur moment picked up a face value ticket outside and saw CC, Chick Corea plucking on the inside strings of the piano and he said" yeah man he does that" and then it was like "hey man it's really cold out here, I gotta go."
Havin his own 'percussion discussion' w trumpeter, Amram playin a French Horn and oobyoobliying ooblyoodee ay! (any you guys know "Percussion Discussion" by MR, Max Roach and CM Charlse Mingus? or a moderne version by HH,Herbie Hancock and BC Billy Cobham w thousands of thousanths of second spaces and I can still follow the dots....sorta..)

“On the Road' 9th version was Jack K drinkin coffee not benzedrine.... Like Mozart. straight out.
Jellow Biafra ranting and raving about HS Guidance counselors and Trump.
Neal Cassidy's son reading his own short story about target practice in the living room, shooting Collier's Encyclopedia.
KGNU cat reading a Neal Cassidy short story (maybe it was a Kerouac?)
Amram played Wody Guthrie's Pasture of Plenty in jazz ballady blues
(who'd a thunk it? Not me).
Last tune Charlie Parker..music..not bebop or labeled. playing, singing, riffing and raffing stories, songs and music in the key of life..
with emphasis on Joy
Learn at schooll of hangology and be creative!
Jack K re Beats: live your life. Nah. Love your life!
