Regarding Good-Bad Company

Back in February, the director of programming at the Los Angeles Philharmonic (colloquially known as the “LA Phil”) reached out to me to ask if I would be interested in contributing a written piece to a collaboration they were working on with Deaf West Theatre. They wanted to produce a chapbook documenting the musical experiences of Deaf artists to accompany their production of Fidelio and the See / Feel / Hear Music symposium. I wrote about my favorite rock musician, Paul Rodgers. The four-up you see above is my prose poem along with a concert photo I shot of “The Voice” himself back in 1979 at the Capitol Centre in Landover, Maryland. What an honor to be a part of this piece of literature along with ten other Deaf artists.
