Anna, this was so good. It’s like you sharpen your pencil, sit down, open up your mind…. and then a beautiful story just comes pouring out, ready-made!

Such rousing music, Anna. A vent for your spirit!

I've missed you, reading you, listening to you. Hearing your music in a dark tavern would be like the best dream I never had.

I don't screw around on the guitar enough.

Thanks for the nudge.

Our local grocery store has a round up program that benefits a different charity every month. This month it's the homeless coalition. So I round up my change, get in my car, and drive right by the homeless man at the parking lot exit. Why do I do that?

Thanks for that nudge, too.

It's hard to pick it up and just start playing for sure. I try to leave it out of its case which helps.

The best kind of screwing around! I’m screwing around with a fabulous turquoise-ish blue yarn these days (well, nights, actually- in front of the TV). I love watching you play your violin.

so cool. I managed to place a couple melodies (which is to me, like, wow- I really love music while being really talentless.)

thank you so much for sharing

I always stop and listen to musicians on a street and I love music in taverns

and I like to dance to the music on a street too. a bit silly, it is, but I don't care

what a great gift, yours is

Thanks Chen! A couple of the songs are Klezmer songs, and one of them is my own.

I love that you love to dance to music on the street! It happens a lot here in Spain! It’s so uplifting to see people dancing to spontaneous concerts. 🤗☀️😎

From a buskers pov Spain was the absolute best! People love having fun. Weekend nights, get all dressed up, stroll down the Promenade, listen to music.
