Ken Waldman "Fiddling Poets on Parade"
|
|
Ken Waldman has drawn on his 23 years in Alaska to produce poems, stories and fiddle tunes that combine into a performance uniquely his own. A former college professor, Waldman has had published six full-length poetry collections, a memoir, and has released seven CDs that combine old-time Appalachian-style string-band music with original poetry. Since 1994 he’s worked full-time as Alaska’s Fiddling Poet, performing at some of the nation’s leading universities, festivals, arts centers, and clubs. Over 400 of his poems and stories have appeared in such journals as Beloit Poetry Journal, Chariton Review, Quarterly West, and Yankee.
" These are the sounds you want to start your Saturday morning to. Kids love this CD featuring Ken Waldman and his friends belting out some of the silliest and some of the loveliest lyrics put to fiddle and banjo."--Kathy Fretz, newpages.com (May 2006)
