We need to talk.

you and me.
about some things.
don't know how to say what i'm thinking yet, though.

the last time i had something this heartfelt to say, i should've held my tongue a bit longer.
should've waited to find better words.
or for things to change again.

just know. you and me. soon we'll talk.

don't worry. i won't hurt you again.

Not much else gets me started like this song here.
Ok, excluding a couple of road marches, Hum Along And Dance and a few other tunes.

Love Gilberto.
Back on my quest to find a couple of his obscure tunes.

thanks, train stranger.

Long story short, a couple weeks back I spoke up for a little girl getting roughed up by her dad, on the subway.

I'm not one for butting into peoples parenting. I don't have kids and from friends and family I understand sometimes what might seem excessive, really just is whats called for.
But.
When you see a parent pounding on a kid just because they're 7 and a bit fidgety, I can't and didn't stand by quietly.

After telling the dad to stop... and the 7 y.old telling me to shut up, I silenced myself and held my anger and tears in.

Once they left, a fellow passed me this note.

thank you stranger for reminding me who I am.

Producing a show is so very foreign to me, but I'm enjoying it.
While it does bring up some strange emotions from time to time, it's all very good.
Let's me keep flexible and exercises other sides of my personality.
I bring to each show the same amount of passion I would to my own and experience a sense of pride for the acts I get up there.

When I have a little more time and am feeling wistful again, I'll elaborate, but for now, this is enough.
NYc: Consider coming.
No.
Show up. Its good stuff on a Thursday night.
