Kendal asked me yesterday if I liked David Grey, his favorite singer and in particular, the White Ladder album which he wished he owned. Now I’m not a big CD guy, I probably own less than twenty, and I hardly ever listen to them in this digital age but I told him I thought I had that one.
Sure enough I found it in my stack this morning, threw it in my bag and rocked the gang out to it on the way to their school. My little Chevy has a killer sound system and Kendal was ecstatic.
As I pulled away from the Community school this afternoon every seat was filled with kids and I decided to play them some music. I’m pretty sure they’ve never heard of David Grey and I never crank the sound system up but halfway to Driggs they were smiling and singing along. Not with Davids lyrics, but from a song they sing at school, matched to the beat. Very cool :-)
When I took the gang home afterwards I gave Kendal the CD.
Btw: this picture was taken next to my bus at the base today and has absolutely nothing to do with this post, I just like it.
Also, here’s David on video if you’re interested.
I’m sure you made his day, little things mean a lot.
Kendal = happy :-)
You have a way of making people happy. Keep up the good work. I like the oil drum. And is that a car washer leaning on it?
That’s my ice scraper and the green cord plugs into my block heater. Simple tools in my little world…
Great photo and generous gesture, my friend!
Thanks K :-)
