I accidentally bumped on this guy on u tube and I was blown away. I have just ordered his last book and I can't wait to receive it...
You should check out his performances on u tube and I have also added his official site address in my favorite links.
Enjoy below video; poem is titled "Direct Order" and I absolutely love his lines:
# Rock out like music is all that you got.
Rock out like Jimi has returned carrying brand new guitar strings.#
