Danny to me at rehearsal tonight: “I got my subway shoes on”
Me: (looking down at his black sneakers) “How come you call them your subway shoes?”
Danny: “Cause I cut off the back part here to make ’em more comfortable & not look so fancy as when I got ’em you know. You know you can’t look too fancy down there in the trains or else people’ll think you got too much money & won’t give you none of that green. I could wear a different silk suit every day down there but I wouldn’t make no money you know. You gotta have that little bit of a homeless thing goin’ on down there in the trains. That’s how you make all them dead presidents.”
Me: “Somehow, Danny, I kinda think you could wear a solid gold plated suit & you’d still clean up underground.” : )

We’re performing this month @ BB Kings on 42nd St here in NYC – here’s a little clip from rehearsal last week w/ the band, Danny on vocals & Lauri & I backup (insert visual of Danny doin’ his trademark ‘Danny Hip Dance’ right before the laugh 🙂

A Little Bit Of Geechee 🙂

The world, it appears, seems to be divided between those who work hard at putting everything they’ve learned in school into practice to build a life ‘according to plan’ and those who spend a lifetime un-learning everything they were taught in search of the truth…. HK

Sometimes it’s $20’s, sometimes it’s Pennies, sometimes it’s a smile or a dance, other times a nod…it’s all equal – it’s always love ♥ #buskerbits

Love life w/ all of you – embrace it & if for a minute you can’t – take a nap – #Buskerbits
