Handy Guide for Beggars, Especially Those of the Poetic Fraternity
(Paperbound)
A Handy Guide for Beggars, Especially Those of the Poetic Fraternity, by Vachel Lindsay.
True story. In 1906, young poet Vachel Lindsay wanders through a dozen states, with no money and no baggage, staying with random strangers, reciting poetry and teaching "The Gospel of Beauty." So, what do you suppose that was like? Wonder why this book was popular in the 1960s & '70s?
Part 1.6 -- "Man in the House of Collars" and "Confucius."
Music by Kevin MacLeod.

The music you picked for this one went really well with the story of this poor guy trying to buy a collar.
Thanks. Figured it was a big transition for him, so the music needed to be a big transition, too. And as I recall, he was hoping to come as close as possible to -not- buying a collar.
