David Amran is 91 years old. He knew Woody Guthrie, roomed with Jack Kerouac and he has been coming to Woodyfest in Okemah for the last twenty years.He's given classical piano performances in Carnegie Hall and written symphonies. He's also a wondrous flute player and utilizes all kinds of instruments from his travels. He brought some sort of Chinese flute to this performance as well as some things he did with native American chants.
I took a video of his eclectic performance last night but I can't share my own videos here. Instead here's something from YouTube.
How wonderful that he spent all these years using his genius and passion! Wish we could all do that! Thanks!
