Open Mic in South Haven.
Shared Patricia Polocco’s book, “My Ol’Man”. Made text to life connections with Patricia’s story of her dad, her grandma, and walking in the woods. Her stories were very much like people and events in all of our lives. We shared songs that were related to these people and events.
These kids and their teachers were wonderful. I shared a little bit different music with each of the groups and everything went well. My favorite of the day was when I shared “This Land is Your Land” with the kids. I talked all of different people running for president and asked if a man, a woman, an African American, a Native American, a Mexican American, and when I turned around, even though I had already said Asian, this kid looked at me and said “And Asian”, could be president? All of the kids were looking at me and I asked again, “Why can all of these people be president?” Again, all of the kids, And all of the teachers were looking at me. So, I strummed the guitar and said, “Yes, because “This Land is Made For You and Me” and we sang the chorus again. I could see it in the teachers face, “Okay, you did it, It worked”. We had fun!
I was pleased to go to the little town of Weidman in northern Michigan. Pastor Scott Smith invited me to be the “Special Guest” and share some of my stories and songs. The students met at the United Methodist Church.
The kids and the adults sang along and Pastor Scott picked a little on his mandolin. It was a great day!
Tia and several of her friends enjoyed a birthday party. Tia’a parents invited me to share the song, “There’s a Bunny in My Backyard” and a few of Tia’s other favorite songs. I enjoyed singing with everyone!
On July 4th, we had a kids show at 10:00 in the morning. What fun we had. We sang songs for the “Lucky Lindy” CD and as you can see in the pictures there was lots of dancing and singing. We moved so fast that some of the pictures are a little blurry. 
Sharing Guy Clark’s song, “The Cape” at the Black River Tavern in Sound Haven.
