New: A setting of Elizabeth Bishop’s “The Shampoo”

Recently, California writer and musician Charmane M. Vaianisi wrote to tell us of a collaboration with Oklahoma musician and composer Beau Mansfield: a setting of Elizabeth Bishop’s poem “The Shampoo.” They have posted a recording of this setting on YouTube. You can here it by clicking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lc4hvM9eHY
Charmane has an incredible story, which you can read here.

  1. Thank you so much for sharing the link of my setting of "The Shampoo." Charmane Vaianisi's voice was the perfect vehicle for a song idea I'd had for some 17 years, and finally finished, thanks to her encouragement. Sincerely, Beau Mansfield
