A Long Time Coming...

At last, there is video from the Music Hall Jazzmouth Extravaganza! Three poems, two by me and one by Cara "Rollergirl" Losier, are available on the StonePigeon.com "video" page. I ain't gonna lie... the quality isn't the best ever, but if you weren't in attendance or you just want to relive a small piece of an amazing night, this is the only way you're going to get to do that.

Special thanks to the intrepid Mark "The Colonel" Palos and his equally intrepid camera.

Great show with technical difficulties

This to be followed by the sound of a thousand hearts breaking: I had a technical problem with my digital camcorder, so it looks like there will probably be no videos of the outstanding performances of Redbeard Bullrider and Lindsey Coombs. I know, I know. I'm working on fixing the thing now and making some progress, but for now I'll assume the worst. I may have gotten one of two poems recorded before it froze, so we'll see.

As a way of making amends for this horrible injustice, I'm including a bonus picture of tonight's white elephant prize, a pink flamingo hat donated by Andrew Periale, and the winner of said prize... Cara "Rollergirl" Losier. Enjoy!

May 11th Stone Pigeon

RSVP to this event on Facebook!

Another month, another show featuring two great poets! Check it out!

Redbeard Bullrider is the outgoing persona belonging to a preferably anonymous and reclusive New England farmer. He fills his days with happiness by unloading his negative emotions onto paper and into song. His hobbies include poetry, art, history, socioeconomics, philosophy, political satire, and lexicography. Most all of the attributes you have just read are composed from his reddish-brown armchair, and head.

Originally a Connecticut girl, in 1999 Lindsey Coombs landed (after a circuitous journey and 25 years in New Jersey) in Delaware, where she was rescued from oblivion by discovering a crazy talented world of amazing poets plus a whole new world of Slam poetry. Thus began her poetry love affair that includes “Between You & Me” and “In Certain Places,” spoken word programs she performs at Senior Residences. Lindsey loves painting portraits of people's pets, her cat, living in Deerfield and a friend’s horse named Ignatz as well as her husband and 3 sons and one daughter-in-law who live too far away. She has shared her enthusiasm for poetry with kids, cashiers, auto mechanics and anyone willing to listen!
