CHRISTE

Tonight I went to ABC studios on West 66th Street. I went there to have my first meeting with Chris Kachulis. Chris has worked at ABC for 46 years. 1 year after beginning his job at ABC he became friends with Bruce Haack. Chris and Bruce remained friends and collaborated up until Bruce’s death in 1988. In my opinion their most significant collaboration is the masterpiece album Electric Lucifer. Chris helped pen much of the lyrics and also sings on most of the songs.
Chris is an exciting, hospitable, generous and joyful human being. He is an immediate encyclopedia of old music, old films, the Christian bible and musicals.
I’m incredibly honored to be working with Chris this summer. Such collaborations will be unveiled at the beginning of the sun making it’s way into Cancer.

Embracing all beings

Far and near

Be it on the earth

In The water

Or In The air

Knowing well that we are all fellow wayfarers in this round of existence

That we are all overcome by the same law of suffering

That is comforting coolness to those that burn with the fire of suffering and passion;

That is life giving warmth to those abandoned in the cold desert of loneliness,

To those who are shivering in the frost of a loveless world
