Jump-Start Performance Co. annually stages their performance party at the beginning of each year. For 2014 (the final Performance Party to be held at their Blue Star home of over 20 years) Pamela Dean Kenny asked my help in creating a short film which could be screened during the event. Here she reads “The Secret Oral Teachings of the Sacred Walking Blues,” written by the late Sterling Houston, one of the central figures of Jump-Start for so many years.
