William Kennedy & M.R. Poulopoulos, Part 1

APL's Reading Music program departed from its usual discussion of musical nonfiction to host Albany literary legend, William Kennedy, and Albany singer/songwriter, M.R. Poulopoulos. M.R. Poulopoulos performed original songs inspired by William Kennedy's Albany novels: "Ironweed," "Billy Phelan's Greatest Game," and "Legs." Part book discussion, part music performance, this one-of-a-kind event was the first of a new discussion series featuring works of literature that have inspired works of song.

In this segment: Opening remarks followed by Matt Durfee reading a passage from "Ironweed" and performing his original song "Closing Time at the Black Rag," accompanied by M.R. Poulopoulos, Laurence Scudder, and Roger Noyes. Video recorded by Chad Lowther for APL.
