Maybe not dead?

Andoni bailed - he's more interested in a free jazz approach, less composed. I've been casting about for the right person. Emailed City Lights, no response. Mal Sharpe suggested contacting the Beat Museum in North Beach, and they put me onto Brian Harris, who, it turns out, has performed the poem from memory several times. We've corresponded, and I'm waiting on a DVD of one of the performances to see if he's a fit. The signs are promising: he's a musician, a responsive correspondent and a thinking man. Might could happen!
