Whenever I fly, I recall this video.
Today, I watched it on my flight home.
Via WiFi.
Sitting in a non-reclining chair.
With my teeth floating due to the extended turbulence.
Trying not to laugh too hard…
Just what it says…General
I’ve been in New Orleans the past few days for a meeting and tonight, while walking around the Quarter, saw Grandpa Elliott – New Orleans icon and participant in the Playing for Change project (he is at 1:05 in the video below.)
I watched him from a distance for a bit and noticed people simply passing him by – almost not “seeing” him sitting there on the corner (the way most do when walking around and seeing street people or musicians.)
