I'm coming up on my 14th year as acentral Jersey journalist, slowly incorporating the music scene & AsburyPark into my field of dreams. Much of my musical leanings over the decadessince the sixties have been folk and oldies. Then, on a late spring day in2011, while on the job, I discovered Arlan Feiles in Asbury Park. Anold-fashioned glimmering epiphany; I was back to the future. Arlan embodies allthat is essential, meaningful, hopeful, poignant, and dreamy in his words andmusic. A great friendship. I almost went with him to the 50th Anniversary ofthe Selma to Montgomery March over the Edmund Pettus Bridge. That's a specialfriendship; he invited me. Arlan was invited to attend that essential history.He is a caring, warm, dedicated, passionate soul with a wondrous talent. Anold-fashioned troubadour. I call him that often. A word I judiciously use todescribe Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Pete Seeger. Arlan is there. In thisinterview, he also discussed his new critically acclaimed release, record‘Diaspora.' And so much more. Thinking back on this. I finally interviewed myfriend, Arlan Feiles. https://www.youtube.com/c/ConversationswithCalvinWetheSpecIEs532 Interviews/Videos  9200 SUBSCRIBERSGLOBAL Reach. Earth Life.
