about

NYC resident William Parker and poet/playwright/author David Budbill, who spent the last 50 years of his life in the rural hills of Northern Vermont, had a very close creative relationship & friendship. They worked together on the CDs Zen Mountains Zen Streets & Songs for a Suffering World, and the DVD project On Being Native, among many other live performances.

This CD, What I Saw This Morning – released in 2016 – presents their final work (on record) together, and presents 31 of David's poems as spoken word accompanied by William on bass, kemele ngoni, hochiku, shakuhachi, and duduk; as well as an Interview btwn the two of them in four parts.

It is a moving meditation on life, mindful passage through, and the inevitability of death; and is testament to the synergy between these two artist citizens from very different backgrounds.

This is a limited private press edition, and features cover artwork by the author's wife, Lois Eby, and liner notes by their daughter, Nadine Wolf Budbill.
