    i really liked how the accordion music was so central to this — how it gave it much more depth than the poem would have had on its own. an interesting one!

    (and that’s a sentence you don’t hear often: “i really liked how the accordion …”)

    I like your poem Mr B!
    I said I wood send you some of my music so here is a link to my website

    I have been working on a new album called Anthropocene…the modern scientific definition for 2012.
    all the music & names of songs relate to the theories…very geological & geographical.
    hope you like it…let me know what you think.
    you were a big influence in my creativity & taught me to think clearly & openly & visualize the unseen & hear the unheard…believe it or not…thank you!
    Enjoy….
    peace…….

      Hi Jeff,

      I’m not sure this is the best way to reach Mr. Bengston. This is just a blog where I am embedding videos I find on the web, his being one of them, and unless he is in the practice of Googling his own name pretty often, I doubt he will discover these comments of yours for some time to come. I don’t have any contact information for him.
