Far.Cry.Blue.

Doug Palmer had a few "words" to say as introduction to his incredible Violin Duet last Friday night in Seattle.

Far.Cry.Blue.

You can view
"American Music"
as Dvorak
copied out
by Nadia Boulanger students;
or you can say
it's Steven Foster
to slave chant
to blues
to jazz
to Rock.

The latter of which
actually makes
money,
(though not always
for the right people).

I believe
I have achieved
a synthesis
in this piece,
inasmuch
it is American
music,
and it is unlikely
to make
any money.
