I remember once playing at Ft Myers Beach the day after Christmas. I had a santa hat on and a little girl asked if I was Santa. Her Mom asked if she could take a pic of us and I said sure, then played a song for the little girl. The Mom wanted to give me a tip, but my case was always closed. I would never take money for playing. When folks did leave me money I always went to the nearest tip jar and put it there.
When I decided to move to Florida, I asked Elaine if I gound play for an hour or two on the stage at Websters Bookstore. She said yes. I played for an hour, a few of my friends, and Suzi and Kelsey showed up.
For a few years I had an amateur CAVE in my cellar. I made this one there.
IST had a talent show, and my wonderful student Danielle asked if I wanted to do a duet with her.
