I was in Macon, Georgia yesterday with Eileen d'Esterno & Gary
Frankfurth to hang some paintings and plan a gig there, and had the
great pleasure to visit the home of poet Seaborn Jones, who lives in
the wilderness outside Macon. Seaborn is one of the best of the later
Beat era poets, and a great guy, as well. We hope to have a series of
performances around the Southeast and beyond in 2010, where I will
open the show and let Seaborn reawken the world to his magic.

Macon, Georgia, continues to speak and read extensively throughout the
United States..." -http://www.seabornjones.com
