Poem/Video by Christina Springer Music by Windafire a 2015 Svaha Paradox The Fishermen Have No Nets is a new thing. I played the role of He Special in a performance piece of my Mom did called "She Diva Died. & Come Again?" My teacher and mentor Howie Alexander did the music. But, we moved to California. I was writing this song. My Mom was editing more video from a character from the show, She Dreams. She thought our two pieces might work together. So, this is our first equal partner collaboration. |
Learning is a journey. These are here to show how far I've come.

I really, really love my school, the Afro American Music Institute. So, I wrote this little song for their fundraising campaign. You can make a donation here.
