About the Piece
The text for "Alamo!" has been compiled from several tracts written by the Reverend Tony Alamo.
The Reverend wrote these tracts while in hiding from the FBI --- his follower had them typeset, and distributed on the street and on car windshields.
He was caught in Florida and served time at the Federal Correctional Institution in Florence, Colorado.
He continued writing, from prison, and "counts his imprisonment for Christ as being all joy."
The entire piece is over 20 minutes in duration, and printed on eleven accordion-style manuscript pages.
Copies of the full score can be obtained, at cost, for $12US (checks payable to Not Nice Music).
Send a check and your address to Not Nice Music, 720 Greenwich Street #5T, NY, NY 10014.
Postage and handling is included.
