Drums Got to Him

-

See the movie, The Visitor. Story of an illegal alien. How his happy life unravels. And an unlikely friendship forged. Features solid actor Richard Jenkins.


College professor.

Widowed four years ago.

Burned out, pretty much.

Two different posts

Two different lecture halls.

Two different apartments.

Comes to discover

That squatters are housed in one.

Both brown skinned.

Victims of shady realtor’s work.


But Professor cannot just boot them out.

Friendships develop

Fresh air of sorts for the lonely Elder.


The young woman is

Hopelessly in love.

And the young man

Gets Prof. pounding

On a djembe with

Rhythmic Buddies in the Park

In the Subway

At Home, happily.

Before trouble comes

From Homeland Security.

Port Protection Series on Geographic Channel. Exhilarating.

A fascinating National Geographic series. Very small village on Alaska Island without roads. Only about 95 residents who love the wilderness and the various assignments of mink trapping tree felling clam picking halibut hauling octopus grabbing deer shooting plank trimming garden land clearing northern lights gazing etc. They realize the fullest meaning and worth of community. For example one guy hauls in halibut at 110 pounds. Couple of good meals for 15 families, He says. Fascinating to watch successive episodes.

Behave with as much relaxed and smiling professionalism as you can muster. People will give you lots of credit. Oh yeah, they will. Now listen to this goal and example with a harp. Her name is Indiara Sfair. She is from Brazil. Not bad to look at either. Definitely she appears to enjoy what she does. And she plays well with other expert musicians/singers. Consider also how she uses her cupped hands. Sort of a sounding box. Or visit the Harmonica Barge. Robert Service poem https://internetpoem.com/robert-service/the-song-of-the-mout-poem/ Adam Gussow, good teaching, bluesy stuff. “Sloppy” stye is needed.
