@ CROATIAN CULTURAL CENTER IN SAN PEDRO
FRIDAY, MAY 17
For the first time in over a decade, Harbor-area poet Raindog's Spoken Word Sandwich An Evening of Word Jazz will take place Friday, May 17, 8:00 p.m. at the Croatian Cultural Center in San Pedro. Spoken Word Sandwich #7 will feature music by Garretson & Gorodetsky; L.A. spoken word artist Rich Ferguson; poet/Lummox Press publisher Raindog; and the Circuitry & Poetry of Mona Jean Cedar's communicative arts of dance, poetry, and sign language, accompanied by Jeff Boynton and his homemade/modified electronic instruments.
Weba Garretson and Ralph Gorodetsky will perform "What Must the Hummingbird
See?" that is a backyard song cycle of 15 short pieces about the daily occurrences of our
urban wilderness, where skunks, opossums, owls, hawks, and cats manage to thrive. The
music evokes a multitude of inuences --- from Hank Williams to Hanns Eisler. Their program will be divided into four 15-minute sets, and in between each set each poet will perform a 15-minute set, hence the "sandwich" effect. As Raindog describes, "It will be an evening of possibilities."
The Croatian Cultural Center is located at 510 W. 7th Street in San Pedro. http://www.croatianculture.org/portal/ Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the cover is $10.00. Books and CDs will be on sale by the participants. For additional information about the event: contact DAWG/BARR Productions @ poetraindog@gmail.com or 562-331-4351.
