Me – “Hey Danny, a cop just passed by”
Danny – “Really? Where?”
Me – “Over there. But don’t worry, it’s a female cop. The female cops don’t really bother you”
Danny – “Oh yeah they will. They’ll bother you. They’ll bother you if they ain’t got no lovin’ the night before. Yes they will. They get themselves some lovin’ then they’ll leave you alone.”
…..Ah Danny…We love you. You always say it like it is : )
Oh – and these signs are some of my favourite in the subways. The MTA has been cutting so much service that riders are completely confused these days what’s runnin’ & what’s not. So the MTA has now made it a practice to post ‘signage’ everywhere telling riders kinda sorta what’s running & what’s not…you know… basically, will you or will you not get to work, meetings, interviews…
An enterprising group has, throughout these cancellations & delays posted ‘counter’ signs mocking the whole situation. I love thee things!
Peace 🙂

Friend – “So, you been in jail?”
Me -“Me? No!”
Friend – “Really? …Wow just seems like you’d be someone who’d been to jail…”
(One of my rapper friends while we were walkin’ along in Times Square havin’ a discussion on music, the street…being arrested & the like.)
NOTE: I’m takin’ ideas on the ‘right’ response to this? Ideas? Please, do share … : )

This has been the hottest summer here in NYC in 9 years. Amp that up by a 10 – 12 degrees and you get the feel of the underground in this heat. it’s beyond a sauna. When done each day I’m soaked from head to toe – hair drenched, shirt drenched poor guitar getting dripped on for hours. I loose so much fluid I now carry a little container of salt to replenish what I loose in the 3-4 hrs in the heat.
Here’s a taste of the underground, on one of the hottest days yet courtesy of Melissa Donovan, superb Cinematographer who you can find at www.melissadonovanproductions.com
