| Chuck Moses and Vimala were honored to sit in on guitar and bass with world renown composer, conductor, and multi-instrumentalist David Amram. During a break in the 12-hour reading of Kerouac's classic, the trio jammed on a bluesy Amram improv and on Moses' "Blackout Blues." A very 'beat' time was had by all.
