Sam Edwards stood as a witness of the sixties from a vantage point documented by few Americans. He was a bartender.
In New York City, the sixties presented tales beyond what most can comprehend as Sam quietly kept notes of his experiences only to later relive them in book and audio form as stream of consciousness poetry much like that of Jack Kerouac. (Modern poet Tom McKeown says Sam book “… is a bit like Kerouac but really it’s more like Whitman and distantly like Pablo Neruda.”)
We helped Sam from the book’s inception in 1999 through its publication in 2007, both in CD format and in perfect bound book. Our efforts were the creative end, from design and audio mixing to the book’s publicity.
As authors know, book promotion is the toughest part of the business. Our efforts ultimately landed Sam a lengthy interview on Sacramento’s NPR affliate to discuss his book. True to his style, Sam met with Cap Radio’s Jeffrey Callison for an engaging and lively interview. You may listen to it here.
