So on January 6th I stayed home from all activities which from what it sounds like from the group i did not miss much. At around 4pm that day i decided it would be good for myself to get outside while there was still light and get some fresh air. By myself i walked about 2 minutes east of where i am staying and landed in a jungle on the corner. I ordered a green tea and heard a piano playing. I walked through an open doorway and sat down in the middle of the room. A young gentlemen was hitting the ivory and his music just sounded so raw.. he sang some song i do not know of but it sounded really nice.. bluesy and mellow slightly sad but inspiring. Then he doodled or dabbled a little and with his friend he started singing some Bob Dylan... "kneeling at your window babe i think i've been here before...you know i want your lovin baby why are you so hard." and another now i cant remember, but i do remember how this guys voice sounded so much like the stereotypical Dylan voice without him trying. He played a little Chuck Berry "Nadine" and then brought out his harmonica and the harmonica holder and played a duet with himself finishing with a song i havent heard before. My entire stay there was completely foreign it felt like i was in another country.. or in another mind.
