This one time in Tennessee, Jonathan Kemmerer-Scovner sang songs with Pete Seeger. Then, years later, found himself brushing snow from Kerouac’s grave in Lowell, MA, and thought to himself, What is this? Why am I here? This was not long after he had strolled nonchalantly into City Lights in San Francisco and the sudden sight of an aged Ferlinghetti nearly led him to void his bowels. Jonathan has this theory that everything is a story, all human expression a form of storytelling, something like that. It’s not very clear. Currently, he and his son make up stories together and tell them at the Glenside Farmer’s Market.
