Last Sunday we were at Villa Terrace with our Waterford friends Bob and Mary listening to Macyn Taylor play fabulous finger-style guitar. She played for two hours straight - no break. Amazing.
During the program a woman that came up behind me off my right shoulder and got my attention.
“I just wanted to say hi to my favorite shuttle driver.” she said.
A couple days later we talked about that chance meeting again and she was a bit embarrassed. “That’s wasn’t fair of me not to introduce myself. You must meet so many people.” she said.
“Let me tell you a little story so that you don’t feel so alone,” I said. “Later during that same performance on Sunday a woman came up to me and said, “Are you David, the printer? You’re gray. I’m gray, but I see you’re still in there by your eyes.”
And, there stood Susie A. - lovely as ever. We met when I managed a small print shop on North Avenue twenty-seven years ago.
To be recognized: simply beautiful.
