June Apple~ MrJoJangles, clawhammer banjo~Traverse City Film Festival 2009 street performer

I was making balloons for kids downtown this afternoon during 2009 Traverse City Film Festival week. Joe, "MrJoJangles" was performing just around the corner. He graciously gave me permission to video him as he played "June Apple", and post it here.

Visit Joe's YouTube channel at:
http://www.youtube.com/user/mrjojangles for more info.

I hope you enjoy his performance as much as I did. It makes our world a brighter place.

Ode
by Arthur OShaughnessy

We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems

With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the worlds great cities.
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion art empires glory:
One man with a dream, at pleasure,
Shall go forth and conquer a crown;
And three with a new songs measure
Can trample an empire down.

We, in the ages lying
In the buried past of the earth.
Built Nineveh with our sighing,
And Babel itself with our mirth;
And oerthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new worlds worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.

You might get to see him this winter. He plays St. Augustine. He's never been to Webster on Monday but might go there to see what it's like.
