All the pieces in this series were edited from two long sessions recorded in the old band room of Colton Middle School in New Orleans. The school reopened briefly after Katrina but had to close after two months because the mold was too toxic. It sat empty for three years until a group of artists renovated the building and turned the classrooms into artist studios. I got the old band room. Thaddeus came over with some poems and Sunni and Josh played provided live accompaniment. Herbie and Joseph sat on the floor and listened.
