Never Own Anything You Have to Paint or Feed

Written and Performed by
Howard Petrick

Mark Kenward

Most people have a transformative period in their life.  For Howard Petrick it was 1965. Living on the edge of Minneapolis’ skid row, working in the rail yards and trying to keep one-step ahead of the draft board.  Hoboes, dive bars, used bookstores, a Joe Hill song. Stories from the hobo mind of Howard Petrick setup that first trip to the induction center.  The prequel to the award winning BREAKING RANK!
