Don Hall served as host of The Moth Story Slams in Chicago for five years. For each theme, he composed a word jazz introduction. This is a collection of a few of these pieces.
Don Hall is a writer, teacher, and artistic mercenary.
In the past forty years, Don has worn many hats—Events Director for both nonprofit and commercial radio, freelance copywriter, casino operations manager in Vegas, Chicago public school music teacher, story slam host, Off Loop theatrical producer/director, Front of House Manager for Chicago’s Millennium Park, professional trumpet player, and one-time homeless busker. Like each random gig is a chapter in a novel written by a lunatic.
Now living alone, thrice-divorced, Hall commits to a daily routine of writing too much, drinking too much, and railing against the dying of the light. Go to his website donhall.me for more info and to the digital magazine he co-edits and to which he contributes regularly www.literateape.com.
His latest book "Casino at the End of the World" is available at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.
