Herbert Huncke reads @SUNY Buffalo Spring Festival 1966

Herbert Huncke reads 'Whitey' & part of 'Detroit Redhead' at the SUNY Buffalo Spring Festival in 1966. Only known recording—transferred from cassette. Sound quality pretty good—some clipping & distortion.
Student Q&A after 'Whitey' has Huncke fielding questions like: "What's hash?" "What's 'cracking a crib'?"

Elsie John was a (self-described) hermaphrodite carnival performer who Herbert became friends with as a 15 year old boy in Chicago 1929.
Born in 1915, Herbert Huncke died in 1996. He had a direct & long-lasting influence on Kerouac, Ginsberg & Burroughs (according to all 3) & originally coined the term 'Beat'.
Kerouac called Huncke “the greatest storyteller I know, an actual genius at it, in my mind.”
