Coffee Messiah

Sometimes you put up walls not to keep people out,

but to see who cares enough to break them down.

This is Bernice, Lisa's quilter friend.
There is an International Quilter Convention in Chicago
next weekend, and will be her guests.

I will be visiting with Earl from the Peace Train,
having some coffee and perusing a bookstore or two.

This quilt was done by one of the
Sisters Of The Cloth in Ft. Wayne.

I met them last year and was asked to record
a few of them for the African American Museum.

Last evening, Lisa had to set up a booth for
a local quilt show.

While there, I met a gentleman who was
sitting there listening to an Ipod or something.
I asked what he was listening to and a
conversation ensued.

One thing led to another, only to find
out that as he was growing up in Ft Wayne,
his father was a doctor, but somehow or
another was heavy into the Jazz Scene.

Seems that Nat Cannonball Adderley came to
their house and played in their basement
with others who he couldn't remember.

His father is still alive. I passed my card along,
hoping to record him talking about what it was
like back then, not only about the jazz clubs ,
but anything else that happened in that time period.

Here's hoping I get a call.
