canned heat going up the country
so I asked my rainbow friends to play something I know. this is what they chose!
"Rainbow People/This is what makes life rich!"
Yesterday, I met 4 street performers who were in an impromptu band of sorts. They had, I'm convinced what was probably the happiest dog on the planet as well. These young people were all in their early 20's.
their instruments were
accordion
ukulele
2 guitars
a flute
they had gorgeous singing voices!
In addition to the music being so beautiful, this little pup just kind of stole the show, sprawled in the sun in front of the accordion! Nearly every passerby, smiled.
One just dropped out of mica college in Baltimore, one grew up in Baltimore, one from Florida and I'm not sure about the other.
The 2 sisters just dropped out of college deciding that you can learn much more about life by travelling.
I said to them "This stuff, this is what makes life rich!"

They kissed every step
They kissed every step I had the great honor of meeting Ms. martin and her husband as well as to hear her speak of her experiences with holocaust. She says she has had a very hard life, but it sounds like she is doing very well. She is proud that she has been in every corner of the world. She says she's a fighter. I was in front row and she touched me affectionately on the shoulder on more then one occasion. I think for this reading I may have been the only attendee with Jewish roots. I told her I am Elana Snyder. She said: "Ahhhh yes, SCHNEIDER!" At this point her husband waved her over to sign books saying : "Get over here and get to work!"
