10/25
Leviticus plays the sax |
A day completely consumed with ongoing
conversations with A in a very drunk state. And uncertainty as to what to do.
Tonight’s surprise for open mic’s a jazz sax
player named Leviticus. Even though he’s usually a subway player, he dropped by
on his way to a gig at Lincoln Center with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at
Lincoln Center All Stars. On his way back to Harlem, he stops by West-Park.
Like something out of a time machine back to 1950’s Village, Joel does his beat
rap and then Leviticus gets up and tears us apart with his soprano sax.
RL has Alex on fiddle and Marc on guitar. Time for his Stay awhile...
The night ends with a question as to whether we
need to take an hour subway ride or a $40 cab ride to an outer borough to
rescue A. It’s not the money or time. It’s my emotional exhaustion. But I speak
to A on the phone. Would you come? A
asks. Would you really come?
Of course I would.
Then it’s OK. I’ll be OK. You don’t need to.....
Time to head home.
Alex, Marc and RL |
