A new work based on Charles Bukowski’s short story Six Inches. Here an excerpt: “Sarah got me down to being 6 inches tall. She carried me to the store in her purse. I could look out at the people through the little air holes she had poked in her purse. I will say one thing for the woman. She still allowed me to have my beer. I drank it by the thimble. A quart would last me a month. In the old days it was gone in 45 minutes. I was resigned. I knew that if she wished to do so she could make me vanish entirely. Better 6 inches than nothing.”
6 inches by the UT Big Band. Keith Brown, director, Alex Reyes, tenor.
