He has been involved with songwriting and poetry for a number of years and coincidentally has come out with a new musical CD, too. The CD should be available soon. You can see the book on Amazon here. Barnes & Noble has it here.

Here is a poem from Live Free or Croak:
Noodle Soup
The beautiful
and experienced
Mary Gardner
was my first date ever.
I was 16; she
was 2 years older.
I was like a guy
who has never
even seen a
baseball game
playing in one
at the major
league level.
After a movie
she suggested
we drive over to
The Finger Bowl.
I didn’t know
what she was
talking about—
The Finger Bowl
being a euphemism
for a secluded,
makeout spot
only the more
experienced local
kids frequented—
and while Mary
looked on incredulously
I drove around for
what seemed like hours
looking for a
Chinese restaurant.
There are many more treasures like this in Larry's book.
