Tassajara Stories


Tuesdays, since April, have been posting on Cuke Audio Podbean, chapters from Crooked Cucumber. Fished with that and so this Tuesday the  29th of September posted the first draft of a work in progress -  Tassajara Stories: the Early Years with Shunryu Suzuki. It's a piece called Summer 70. I don't just read it straight out but comment while reading it some and make little editing changes and so forth. Don't know where this will all go but I figured if I read from draft piece from this project that it will help to bring it to fruition or put it to rest.
