Faux Press Vlog: Global Singing / Neighbors
My neighbor, Jackie, sings. Loud. Without shame. I hear her through the thin walls. Mostly in the mornings.
"You're crazy, Jan," says Jackie.
She's right.
Jackie sings always of love.
I love living in Latino neighborhoods, have done since 1/1/1995; there's musica todos los dios. Todos los dios. Cantar me.
This little piece is a reminder that everyone has a special gift that while it may not be world-class in an American Idol kinda way, can bring many lasting pleasure. I'd rather hear Jackie sing with the 10 folks on this floor than go hear some professional with 60,000.
