last night we hosted the Donny McCaslin Group.
After the show I get to stand next to sign-up sheets and thank everyone for coming and smile at them and it's a lovely exchange.
We have a large population of seniors who take the bus down from their apartment complexes along the parksides up and up. One woman came out and was gathering pamphlets - I thanked her simply - said "thank you for coming" and she stopped dead - her arm still reaching for a pamphlet - touching just the edge of a paper and she said
"They were wonderful. This band. Jazz. This music is changing my life."
I keep thinking of that moment. Her face when she said it.
I really believed her.
