Friday brought me to the Walt Whitman Arts Center on Friday for two interesting and distinctly different sets of music. The first show was with a variety of day-cares and camps trucking on down to the center, and it was a lively and interactive show. I think we made a whole lot of noise, but then, that’s art.
The second show was with a special needs boy Isaac, his mom and older brother, and a first grade girl and her mom and younger sister, both of whom spoke no English. Actually, I’m glad there were just a few folks. I invited the folks up on stage, ditched the sound system and broke out the rhythm instruments and had a good, close-up time together. Both sets were hard work, but in different ways, and it was good to have both experiences. Thanks…
