Watching tonight's episode of the Ken Burns' PBS Vietnam doc and William Ehrhart pops up. He wrote what to me is the most honest book about being in the war, Vietnam-Perkasie, which was the inspiration for my buddy Serge Bielanko's all-time Marah classic Roundeye Blues. - XMASTIME
Saturday night for their Christmas show, Marah had Ehrhart onstage reading one of his poems before playing the song it inspired, and it's a fantastic moment. Enjoy! (Never mind my crappy hand-held video of the streaming video)
