We don't necessarily agree with this site's statement about Vachel Lindsay being our first jazz and blues poet--along with Langston Hughes...OK, we'll take Langston. The name Thomas Hampson sounds so familiar--isn't he a choir director? Anyway...it's interesting.

This looks like some fun--chance to become famous maybe? A recitator?

A Growler is raised high to all of y'all!
