This book is a compilation of three books of poetry and prose (or zines), first self-published between 2001 and 2003-Bebop Coffee Shop, The Fabulous Adventures of Yours Truly, & Spoken Jazz & the tingg* Machine. The hope is that it stands alone while complementing the episodic audio musical that shares the same name. The books were originally created with the Remington tingg* Machine, an early fifties portable typewriter, original black & white photography, innumerable glue sticks, scissors, and many hours at Kinko's.
