Pigs Will Fly

"If we respected only what is inevitable and what has a right to be, music and poetry would resound along the streets."
Henry David Thoreau

Sometimes a busker will stop you in your tracks.  (and sometimes they don't, even if its Joshua Bell.  Astonishing.  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/04/AR2007040401721.html?sub=AR).  When its really good you hear it from fifty yards away, echoing through a BART station, more than the ragged alto player or johnny cash influenced punk baritone.  And that was it when the Jugtown Pirates settled in at Montgomery Station yesterday morning, lighting it up in front of Peet's Coffee.  These guys were good; and since this is 2010 they have a myspace page with 62,000+ views.  http://www.myspace.com/jugtownpirates  Check out Pigs Will Fly.  Sweet tune.
Paid 5.00 for a cd and Pigs blew the Avett Brothers out the head which, as good as they are, was necessary. Angst gets old and Pigs is sweet slow harmless psychedelic harmony and the Avetts wouldn't leave and were buggin' me.  Back this morning, Pirates were too; requested Pigs and they obliged, right as a train load of disabled folks and their aides disembarked.  So Pigs was kind of interrupted and Meghan the fiddler player looked kinda sheepish.  But those are my kind of people; it was great.  Lotsa smiles and Barry would have loved it.
Yesterday, five miles elliptical/step mill and great MH flow class.
Today AM, three miles, and some TRX fun for 20 minutes.
PM, 5 comes over and its time to work
