Return to The Land Of The Flowers: Beautiful, Ancient, St. Augustine Florida

On a lovely sunny day in the Spring of 2009, writer Playthell Benjamin and Local Renissiance Man Roger Jolly engage in a lively and erudite conversation about the virtues of American Pop music Vs. Classical European Art Music. All the while classical music plays in the background. Later they are joined by Ms. Barbra Vickers, writer, artist, heroine of the civil rights Movement who marched with Dr. Martin Luther King. In a fit of candor - sparked perhaps by a bit too much high grade Florida "wisdom weed" and Spanish Puerto Rican rum, playthell confesses to the saucy eighty seven year old Ms. Vickers that he spent his boyhand getting off on erotic fantasies about her. And that she and her friend and comrade in the struggle, Ms Janie Jones, are the models for the women in his forthcoming novel that the young male protagonist fantasizes about. It is a poignant moment.
