Kaddish (intro)

'Kaddish', a sprawling lament for his dead mother, written in 1956 by Allen Ginsberg, has long been one of my favourite poems. I want to make a video to go along with Ginsberg reading it. I'll probably never finish it (I've only completed about thirty seconds!) but I will work on it, on the few occasions where I have the time. The audio is taken from the LP 'Holy Soul Jelly Roll - Poems and Songs 1949-1993' released by Wordbeat Records.
