Sometimes nature presents unique situations. As Irene passed, the SouthSide of Bethlehem had a power outage on late Sunday morning. As the evening drew near, I had to do something to get out of the apt. Time for guitar practice! or go nuts…
So, I had a very cool musical evening. No power on 4th Street. I set up a chair outside Godfrey Daniels, proceed to plunk guitar and mandolin. Cars dealt with the non-stop light, and folks took to the streets. The day turns into dusk and then into night. I get to see 4th Street change without lights,and see how people react to the sidewalk in the dark. …and see how people react to music in the street.
It turned out to be clear sky, clean air (are those stars?) and no electricity. Folks walkin’, making contact. I played in the dark, and sang loud. It’ll never happen again……
