Search - William Roper :: Roper's Darn! Yarns - Tales of Love and Woe

Three wacky tales of desire and love lost by Los Angeles based composer, spoken word artist and tuba player William Roper. He spices up the telling of his little love dramas with improvised music on the tuba, joined on two cuts by Bay Area reedist Francis Wong and New York based drummer Elliot Humberto Kavee who also plays cello at the same time he is pounding those drums. The last of the stories is set to a score by the late pianist Glenn Horiuchi, who is on the date along with Francis Wong and percussionist Joseph Mitchell.
