The folks today at the activities ranged from early preschoolers to older folks. I especially tried to watch people today. The main thing I noticed consistently was the intentness with which everyone listened to the stories. David is so engaging with this his actions and creativity that you really get focused on what he is telling.
One comment I heard from the adults today several times had to do with Daniel's ability to do so many kinds of music with apparently no effort. Do you remember the running joke that was based on a comic book ad, I think, that read: “He sat down at the piano and entertained and amazed his friends when he began to play.” Hey that is Daniel. He is amazing all his new friends like crazy.
But the effortlessness thing is what I really wanted to comment on. It is such hard work to do what they do. They perform and it all seems so good and so rich. That is because of all the hard work that went into it. But what I have been noticing is all the work required to keep on schedule, schlep intruments and such around, and be ready to perform. We try to help out when we can with moving equipment and such but it is pretty negligible. Hard work to be a performer.
