In the word's of Hannibal Lecter in the film and book, "Hannibal", "It is time for me to come out of retirement."

A follow up with David Amram!

On the event of David Amram's 88th birthday, I decided to make him a poem of appreciation. He has contributed greatly to the film, music, and artistic worlds we enjoy everyday. His compositions have been hailed since the 1960's. So it is with great respect that I wrote this poem in the style of his own poetic performances to make it more personal to him. Soon after his birthday I heard back from him. He loved the poem and encouraged me to, "keep Scat Rapping". And so I will. Thanks again, David for inspiring me everyday creatively.
