Bio Sketch
David McMurray enjoys the beat of Sum 41, a group that started out in Ajax, Ontario, as a punk rock band a generation ago. Their old album All Killer No Filler" is still popular in Japan. SUM 41 from Ajax made this a summer in Tokyo to remember for David. http://www.asahi.com/ajw/
David skillfully uses a self-coined term, "po-potato-potato," to create an onomatopoeic effect that greatly enhances the audio-emotional aspect of the poem.
