<< One side, around 25 minutes, is a very young-sounding Patti
 
 doing a reading in 1972.  The other side is Jim Carroll doing
 
 a reading, I think from 1973.  The two aren't performing together
 
 although there is a connection:  in Patti's performance she is
 
 supposed to be opening for Jim Carroll but then Jim doesn't show 
 
 up and Patti has to stay on stage longer than she expected, so
 
 she gets out a piece of paper with a story she's been working on
 
 but hasn't finished, something about a dog, and reads that story. >>

That's the tape I have.  Skunk Dog was the poem she was working on.
It's a real treasure to me.
