Knitting has become such a huge thing underground. There are times when I busk the cars that there’ll be 4 knitters, all on one car, deep in yarn repose. Tonight it was Sam on the Uptown A C E who was 1/2 way through creating a truly rockin’ rabbit 🙂

Sorry NYC, if we meet for the first time (sometimes even the second or third) and you’re not a puppy, I probably won’t remember your name. No offense taken I hope 🙂 

btw- the top cutie’s name = Paul Newman. Why, of course! 🙂

I really do kind of like the look on the teller’s face at the Chase Bank, Times Square, when I pay my credit card bill like this 🙂

And, so today, after counting all the $1’s the teller grabbed his handy dandy hand sanitizer & ‘de-subwayed’ himself, at which point I asked for a dollop too so I could ‘de-Chase’ myself 🙂

Tonight, I think I got tipped with a $10 from a hooker #undergroundfirst

Tonight a guy walked by & dropped a clean $2.00 in a fancy hard plastic sleeve into my case. My busker buddy, Ron Wingate, happened to be standing there & told me this mystery guy apparently does this a lot #fancysecretstuffunderground

‘Best human of the night’ award goes to the homeless underground NYC tonight who really listen, they hear & never fail to give even though they most likely have less than anyone else on the platform at any given time. There’s some kind of etherial connection between me & the homeless who hear me sing. I cannot tell you exactly what it is, it’s some kind of a ‘soul knowing’, but we ‘get’ each other somehow. We rarely say anything to each other, but it’s clear, it’s in the eyes.

It was like Gymboree on steroids underground tonight. A gazillion happy, spazzy kids all dancing their own highly creative spazz-dances & many grateful parents thanking me as they hopped on their respective trains in anticipation of their children going home & sleeping like rocks <3
