  7. Sing Your Song, Georgie

    Wayne West sets Friday grief against Sunday restoration. He moves from the loss of a space shuttle and a friend’s puppet ministry to his daughter’s painful romance, and then to a girl who sang in a London hospital ward through the Blitz, in this talk to the Hawaii CFO in 1986.

  8. The Impossible Dream

    A dream God plants must die like a seed before it can be fulfilled, Wayne West argues at the 1986 Hawaii CFO. He moves from Sancho Panza kneeling at Don Quixote’s bedside to a corn stalk that envied the cow, and asks that the lunatics be given their chance.
