003 Music and singing – low quality recording of Kerouac, literally in an apartment or hotel room, singing along to pop rhythm and blues songs blaring from a radio in the background. This appears to be an informal recording without specific intent of content or production value. Throughout the recording the music changes, strangers enter the room; interruptions are commonplace; but generally Kerouac keeps harmonizing. A very personal and candid recording
