Report #62

This week's poem, "Wool Blanket," comes from my chapbook The Lost Writings of Miscellaneous Jones.  It was written after spending a cold night camped in a small valley behind a cabin outside of Harrison, Michigan, owned by a friend and, at the time, the home of a branch of my family who are much missed.

Music this week is the Sammy Fain/Irving Kahal standard "I'll Be Seeing You" from Rahsaan Roland Kirk's Simmer, Reduce, Garnish, & Serve (1995, Warner Brothers). The song was made popular, of course, by Bing Crosby, but I remember it most in my dad's voice.
The version used here features Kirk on tenor sax, William Butler on guitar, Trudy Pitts on organ, and Bill Carney on drums.
