- David Greenberger
What starts out as fun between college boys and girls, takes a turn to communism and the whole family gets involved in keeping a boy on the straight and narrow. David Greenberger tells a tale based on a conversation with Ken Eglin. Part of the Duplex Planet projects, this is a selection from the 1998 CD, The Duplex Planet Hour, with music by pianist Terry Adams.
Artist David Greenberger has been collecting thoughts, memories and stories from elderly Americans for more than a quarter century. Genuine, moving, and often funny, combined with music, the pieces
explore issues of aging by revealing real characters that are in decline, but are still very much alive. They reveal the common threads of our humanity.
