So, finally think I get it. I was sitting on the table next to the jukebox sipping a Siearra Winter when Rose walks in with Mikal Evans. (I met Rose several years ago when her band opened for Keller Williams and Galactic in front of the Capitol. I met Mikal at a singer/songwriter showcase at the old Revolution Records.) We all chat for a minute, and the ladies ask me to help carry an amp upstairs where people are smiling and hugs and kisses are going around. Immediately, Rose begins to introduce me to Mark Heidinger, but we already knew each other through my old roommate Louie in Lexington, Ky... and for a moment, I felt connections, new and old, fusing together memories of music and friends, acquaintances, community. The Federal Reserve... a collection of souls who have united under one banner: Sing for your country.
