Thread Name: spoken music
Subject: spoken music
Seems to be a revival of what I think of as "spoken music," largely poetry delivered dramatically and set to music, but also things like Randy Wilson's reading of Brother Sim Moberly's sermon from the novel "River of Earth." Makes me remember how much I enjoyed Gil Scott Heron, Rosalie Sorrels' and Cheryl Wheeler's stories, speeches or sermons by Martin Luther King. Can anyone steer me to other examples?
