when we asked them where they were playing
they said they had just finished
i said
"i can't believe we missed you"
so they stopped right where they were
and
played two songs just for us
i didn't know the songs
but
hey
they were playing just for us
and
i thought
their kindness
is a beauty you just don't find everyday
they told us they are
~the funky groovy cowboys~
and
i think
just maybe
someday they'll go someplace
big
and
then
i'll be able to say
"i knew them when"

Oh that's awesome! They have the "look" for stardom! If they have the talent to go with those instruments and their aura, then who knows?! :)
Aspiring musicians are wonderful! Such talent, and sometimes they just give it away freely. Love this post.

Wasn't that just the sweetest thing! It's the kind of moment that makes you realize that people really are kind and generous and making that tiny connection gives you hope. At least it does for me....until someone cuts me off in traffic! :)
Wow now how cool is that?!
I'll have to keep an 'ear' open for them :)
these are great photos...and yeah, those are the best moments in life, the unexpected ones in which you just connect so deeply and then the moment passes. They are very funky and I can only imagine the groove right there on the street!
What a great story about the great and wonderful surprises that people give at times especially when it is of themselves. Lucky you.
Moments like this are a priceless gift. We don't always acknowledge or recognize these gifts so it's cool that you do. I imagine they were fun to listen to. Happy weekend...savor every bit of it! :)
Now that's cool! Don't you love it when people "give" like that? I do -- always restores my faith.
ahhh, the life of the traveling musician. :)
and it's cool they did originals.
That is so cool!

People truly are good. :)
We hear so much of man's inhumanity to man, but you remind us that willingness to connect with one another on some less-than-superficial level is just the coolest human trait. Don't you love the serendipity? Thanks so much for telling this story.
That is so incredibly cool! I think you attract big-hearted people.
Don't you love moments like this? Reminds me there really are great people out there that just want to share a little piece of their life with you.

That's one of those moments that really rocks... or grooves with a twang depending on where you are I guess.

I agree it is the goodness in you that attracts all these wonderful souls to you. I would have been thrilled to have them stop and play just for you. You are so good with people, you exude energy, I feel that often from your stories and your photos. hugs.
