Early on he's working on the absurdity/absurbity problem.

Reading for Run With the Hunted tape.

(I see one of the photos is the buk.net intro page "i'm still here....)

I always love that part.

Funny thing: he reads the word wrong on one of the older recordings as well. I think maybe on the At Terror street readings.

I'd have to avoid reading poems containing the word cinnamon. Always comes out as cinnamum. Thanks, Digney, never heard this before.

I would have hated asking for Septuagenarian Stew without looking through the haze.

Who's the guy doing the recording?

Here's the version from 90 minutes in Hell (click)

Same problem with absurdity.
And the ending is cut short...

Looks like it's Grammy winner John Runnette. At least that's who wrote the liner notes about the session for the CD.

David Nolan is also credited as producer and "mixed by" (though how you mix one track of audio is a mystery to me).

You can get that whole session on a double-CD named 'Charles Bukowski Uncensored'.
I prefer that one WAY over the final 'Run with the Hunted'-Tape.

Roni, I can't keep up with what's available on the free market. Gave up a long time ago, so I'm constantly playing catch up. I see it's still available through Chapters here in Canuckistan so I'll order a copy.
cheers,
