Prior to our set, we were met in the greenroom by a dynamic women / priestess who is known as Mother Mars. She came to guide the band in a prayer and meditation before embarking upon the stage. There we were, a group of 8 or 10 people holding hands in a circle, with heads bowed and eyes closed, calling upon the ancestors for their presence and guidance through.

Once we hit the stage, the audience let out an enthusiastic cheer. We felt right at home. The band was ready. I was ready. From the first note Wendy sounded on the keys, it was on. The Fool. After all it was April 1, Fools Day. The audience ate it with a spoon. It was the feeling we have strived for these 10 years. Wendy and I. It was “University Meets The Street”! Everyone in the place knew they were in for an musical and poetic experience.

THE FOOL

Now you may all sit there and wonder

Just what manner of fool under

The all mighty sun

Has nerve enough to stand there

Telling everyone

The things he’s been told

I bet you think he’s pretty bold

But he tells just the same

It was for this he came

So it would be wise

Not to just sit there and criticize

But take of what he says what you can

And then my friend just

Spit out the rest

Well and then

Further on up the road

There just may a fool

Standing there telling everyone

The things he’s been told

May that fool

Be you
