This song always makes me a bit sad:
This is where I met him as a child:
I'll never admit the number of times I pranced up and down the stairs of the Red House in inept reproduction of this scene.
Perhaps what I love most is that he made something from nothing -- the most banal activity, undertaken thousands upon thousand times in our lives, rendered transcendent.
The Mr. Bojangles.

Oh, I LOVE this post!!! I adored Mr. Bojangles as a girl - what a delightful man. Thank you for these lovely memories. :-)
So nice to have you back. Thanks for sharing. I have tons of dusty treasures. When I visit or at home, I am more bothered by a sculpture a quarter inch out-of-wack than 6 pairs of shoes strewn all over. Good luck with your travel plans. Again, so nice to have you back ..for a bit.

Thanks for commenting on Nick Haus! I look forward to seeing what you have to say. Unfortunately, I had to stop taking Anonymous comments -- too much spam, too much vituperative. Come out from behind the curtain, ye nasty Anonymous! Everyone else, please, I love to hear from you.
