On Season Two, episode 3 of Book of Jude, we will be speaking to the great composer David Amram about his incredible career and music and philosophy and everything else that comes up. I put a long segment of his music from The Manchurian Candidate in the front and a live performance with his trio of work from Splendor in the Grass at the back of the interview with nothing in between only because his conversation with us was so captivating to both me and Ray that we wanted our audience to hear what was on his mind while we had the chance. You can find much of David's music and live performances on YouTube,  which I hope you will do after hearing this interview. He is a true Renaissance man.
