Spoken Word

I have not, until recently, con­sid­ered myself a poet, I have always dab­bled in poetry, but work­ing on some words and music shows with Cana­dian singer/songwriter Richard Knech­tel sort of forced me to take it a lit­tle more seri­ously. Much to my sur­prise, I have devel­oped some fairly decent stuff and felt when I wrote it that it would work with some type of back­ing music. So, I talked to my musi­cal friends, Richard Knech­tel and Justin Burgess, into help­ing me pro­duce some spo­ken word pieces. We pro­duced nine tracks in two ses­sions – sort of jam­ming with spo­ken word – and the results are here…..I think it’s really good work. I call it “rap ‘n’ roll” – rap for older folks. Lis­ten to the free sam­ple and hope­fully down­load some of the rest…..
