More or less the final installment of the "On the Road" episodes: recorded back here at the Grizfork Studio, but discussing a North Dakota night: a long drive after the world's greatest picnic in Minneapolis. Delicious. Amazingly, wondrously, undeservedly delicious ... but I digress.
The poem this week is by another Saginaw expatriate, Rosie King, who I met at the Roethke Centennial celebration. "Night Heron" from her book Sweetwater, Saltwater. She shares with Roethke the ability to really see a bird, a moment, a small/vast epiphany.
This week's music is a take on the Chano Pozo Latin classic "Tin Tin Deo," pulled from Tough Tenor Favorites by The Johnny Griffin and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis Quintet, featuring Griffin and Davis on tenor saxes, Horace Parlan on piano, Buddy Catlett on bass, and Ben Riley on drums.
