 Sunday.
Farmer's market in Ojai. it's kinda big but not too big one. people are nice and the weather has just been amazing lately. I feel like I start singing for real. without being shy or carrying if it sounds bad. just doing it...
You gotta start somewhere in life . even if it means you will be bad at the beginning you will get better.
and being bad is better than not trying. that's what I've learn playing music.
Got a lot of free food at the end of the market and made a lot of $$$ =)
Saje is there. he is so good to us and really want to help everybody around.
After the market we walk around Anna wanna find a piano to play.. go to the art gallery there is one she played. I've write and went for an alone promenade.

Good to be alone sometimes. It's a day of Falls. Grey and nostalgic. love it.
play music and met Austin and his friends Josh and Tim ( all 3 of them traveling together.play all music separately all beautiful.with great energy)
Go back to the art gallery for a free play... with Kate the girl we met At the campfire.
