​

Whims and Daydreams is a portrait of my friend Jason Allen. Jason is a public school choral conductor and pianist. In lieu of program notes, I decided to reproduce a poem that he wrote in 2016. I believe it tells all.

​

​

The cantaloupe seed never saw light, yet it still grew.

Harambe knew nothing of the outer world.

​

HE IS WHO I AM EXISTING THROUGH SPACE

​

Do re mi fa so la ti death

​

Android is better said ponokio [sic], his nose fell off

​

​

Did he lie or did he just forget to take his medication?///////
