Also, they sang King Louie's song from The Jungle Book. Which is fun.

Big Bad Voo Doo Daddy
Last night I chaperoned Kid 1's drama class "theatre retreat" to see a Big Bad Voo Doo Daddy concert. It was a little bit spectacular. Amazing to me how a cool-weather hill on a blanket in the grass can feel almost exactly how I imagine the Cotton Club, mid-1930s with Cab Calloway leading the band. With a lot of red lighting and a scatting white guy, I could have almost been there. If you have the means and the opportunity, I highly recommend taking yourself and the entire family to experience something different, clean, exciting, and totally transporting.

I didn't know any other way to get in touch with you, save this, so I apologize for putting it here on your blog.
ReplyDeleteI just finished your book today. I've bawled non-stop while reading it at the same time I've been awed by your skill. Your voice, your flair--it is so organic. The emotion just swims off the page. Don't ever stop writing. If this is all the proof you ever get, I needed your book fiercely today. It found a deep, lonely hurt in me and eased it. I found my own bright blue miracle. Don't ever stop. You're making a difference. Thank you. Thank you for my own little slice of peace.
