Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill (book, songs and iTunes!) |
 Mark Bittner's book available for purchase at LIPS meetings! |
|
|
|
After
she read The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill, Ms. Fabiano was
inspired to write and produce a song about the feral flock of conures
author Mark Bittner befriended in San Francisco. She produced and
orchestrated the song, "Dogen, Connor and Tupelo," at her
digital music studio. Roberta sent Bittner a CD and he was delighted with the song. The two met when he visited Long Island, and they performed the song together at a meeting of the Long Island Parrot Society. Bittner and Judy Irving have produced a music video of "Dogen Connor and Tupelo" which featured film by LIPS member Terri Pakula and is included in the DVD/video version of The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. Fabiano was privileged to meet some of the real wild parrots on a recent visit to San Francisco. “It was a life changing experience,” says Roberta. “Seeing them flying wild like that was the essence of what I was trying to capture in the song.” You'll be able to purchase the book "The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill" by Mark Bittner and a CD of Dogen, Connor and Tupelo at the event, with the proceeds going to the Long Island Parrot Society's educational and foster bird funds. The CD of Dogen, Connor and Tupelo is can be sampled at www.robertafabiano.com. |
