Weekend Wrap Up

Another weekend come and gone. Was super hot Saturday in the 90s at 

De Anza college in Cupertino at the flea market. I played through most of the day but did leave an hour early because of the heat. My sunglasses kept sliding down because of the sweat. People enjoyed it and gave me lots of encouragement and took some free cds. I will be back there July. Sunday was great beautiful day.Started out cold and overcast then turned sunny and just right, no wind either. I gave away 9 cds, and people really enjoyed it. Another vendor, Ernest from Sweet Potato Pies came over near the end and sang You've got a friend while I played guitar. He was awesome and in a band of his own. Next time we will get more songs to sing together, he likes to harmonize. He is also at San Mateo College farmer's market where I will be on the 8th. I go back to Half Moon Bay in July and am there once a month on average. It was so cute too on Sunday. This boy about 9 or so was fascinated by my playing. I was playing my Martin Backpacker guitar which is a very small guitar with amazing sound quality and the only Martin guitar that I can afford. He came up to me after a song and said that I sound really good so I thanked him and gave him a cd and a free pick. When his mom came back from shopping he was telling her all about me, so cute! The kids are really the best at the markets. I love it when they stand mesmerized by my playing. I even put little Vans shoes on my drum to keep it from moving and when they ask why they are there I tell them "so when we leave he can walk back to the car" and they are so confused. The little girls are the best. I feel like a role model to them because there really are not that many women out there playing. They stand there the whole time watching me play while their parents go shopping. I like to play newer music for them like Pink or Christina Aguilara. I give them a cd and a pick, they leave so happy. I am going to try to update this every week. So next weekend San Mateo and Almaden in San Jose.

Hope to see you there!
