"So, one day, I'm supposed to go into this pawnshop...to buy a gun so we could do a bank thing... I get inside and I see this violin hanging there...and--here's the part that's hard to believe--I hear it calling to me. It's not saying anything...it's just like the violin wants my attention.
"So I ask the shopkeeper how much for the violin and when he says 30 bucks, I bought it instead of a gun."
So glad to say I knew this genius and have been swept away by his musicality many times.... Last time, SISTAH'S PLACE in Brooklyn, last year.... What a night!!!.... First time on the Lower East accompanying Miguel Algarin, founder of the NUYORICAN POETS CAFE, in the 80s...... What a night!!!!

I frequent FlirtyCams. O_R_G to date, because I think it is a amazing site for casual hookups
