Meet Eddie: He plays the guitar on Hollywood Blvd.

“Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music.” – Angela Monet

Meet Eddie.

“I’m just doing this for fun.”

Eddie is playing Elvis covers on Hollywood Boulevard.  Not Elvis’ newer stuff, either.  No one else around here is playing ‘Old Elvis’.  

Eddie just plays on the street for fun.  He is working with his agent, DJ Greasy George, on getting jigs in Los Angeles.  Eddie also plays an open mic across the street.  

Eddie plays me a tune and afterwards, asks if I want to hang out.  I would have, but I already had plans.

Thank you Akron Family for the shirt.

Dear Akron Family,

Love is simple.  

I saw you play at Nectar’s in Burlington, Vermont.  This was two years ago.  I was skeptical about paying 30 dollars to watch you play, as I had never heard of you.  I chose to shell out the dough, because I thought that there would be photographic moments.

Akron/Family – Franny/You’re Human Found at abmp3 search engine

You started off playing the song, “Franny.”  I was walking around the venue, checking out artwork and remember being struck.  I turned and went up to the front of the stage.  It was one of my favorite concerts.  I left with two CD’s and a t-shirt.  

Love is simple.  

I only took three t-shirts on my current year long hitchhiking trip around the USA.  A red, cotton pocket t-shirt.  A capilene Patagonia t-shirt.  And your ‘Love is simple’ t-shirt. 

My red t-shirt has died.  But your shirt is going strong.  I never really wear the Patagonia shirt.  

Thank you for the great show and your music.  Thanks for the soft t-shirt with a striking message.  Thank you for inspiring me to see Love in a new way.

Much Love,

Ben
