This episode is a live recording of the third movement of Dan Cavanagh's Mississippi Ecstasy. Dan, a 2001 graduate of St. Olaf's College, conducted all three movements with the St. Olaf Jazz Orchestra on May 3, 2013. He had used my poem as a prompt for his composition. We recorded the three movements for his first CD, Pulse, for OA2 Records in 2008. The poem was published in my 2010 book, Herds of Bears Surround Us.
