there she was, playing her guitar and singing, she was like a nightingale, alone, we made eye contact and i winked and she smiled. she was a vision of the 60's, a wanderer, a street minstrel, a time, long ago, when my friend tommy and i walked the streets of the village, i almost saw my friend there for a second but my daughters baby brought me back to reality, to the reality that my friend was dead and i was a grandpa and as i gazed into my little ones eyes i forgot about my youth and i concentrated...

my daughter caught this shot of the arch christmas tree and a glimpse of the empire state from washington square park. some man walked into the scene, must be a wannabee character actor. the old coot! anyway she wanted me to take a pic of the old hanging tree which i will post next. and i retook the mural by the groove so you all can see how big it is. by the way that is the beginning of 5th avenue behind the tree.
