I was gigging up in Harlem last week and this group of five or six little girls passed by, maybe nine or ten years old, and they became transfixed. Within a matter of seconds we had a mutual fan club thing goin’ on; I love the kids. They listened to the music, clapped, danced, stared at the money mixed in with the constant cache of assorted candies I keep in my guitar case, chit chatted, giggled and emptied their little pockets of pennies, nickles and dimes into my case.
Once done my gigging for the night and back above ground I noticed there was a new voice mail waiting for me. Thought you might want to hear…

Stumbled on a street artist of a new fashion underground in Grand Central Station, sitting at the edge of the “S” (Shuttle) train…
First for me seeing this underground ~

Me to Pearl the Mime on FB – “It made my day to run into you yesterday underground in Times Square 🙂
Pearl The Mime: …it made mine. I was thinking all last night…just how I could tell the world that you gave the best hug ever…it was with the innocence and fullness…truth of a child.
One of my fondest underground friends, Pearl (aka Margo Carr)

“So, what are ya’ collecting money for?”
~Four teenage girls, dressed to the nines – last Sunday as they stared, blankly into my guitar case at Herald Square while I sang~

Ok – so 2day underground, met a 9yr old protege (piano) playing the trains, my mic went out (grrr…), ran into & seriously avoided “Officer Halitosis” in Times Square, Pearl the mime (a la South St Seaport auditions) stopped by to chat before she went to work, and I met a guy (‘Normal Bob Smith’) who makes ‘Dressup Jesus’ magnets : ) Darn I love that world
PS – you can even play Jesus Dress Up online when you’re away from your refrigerator…it’s so wrong it’s funny 🙂
