Man, music and kids

  • This is a beautiful story and a great testimony.
    Enjoy.
    Click here: The Harmonica Man Sorry, seems you will have to cut and paste it. Darn it, I am just not computer smart.


  • Sharron, isn't that the greatest story? They said this fellow was in northwest Washington. Have you ever come across him? Maybe that sounds like a dumb question. When we were in Costa Rica and the folks there found out we were from Canada, they said they had a friend in Canada, and did we know them. :)

    Thanks for sharing that, Sharron.


  • Fran, thank you for checking out the site.
    I have not met him, but he is an angel on this earth.

    He is only 20 miles from here, but its across the Hood Canal, and in a different county.
    BUT I would be proud to know him.
    Hugs.


  • that man certainly is a bright spot on earth.


  • Thanks again for checking him out.
    I wish I had posted it properly.
    Yes, he is making kids enjoy music..what a gift.


  • @Kipawa:

    …the folks there found out we were from Canada, they said they had a friend in Canada, and did we know them...

    LOLOL!!! :D

    Yeah, you know every one of the 30 Million residents in a land mass that's 3,855,171 square miles. Hehehe

    Gotta love it.


  • AJs Human - the people were so nice in Costa Rica that I felt I was breaking their hearts telling them I did not know their 'friends'. In CR, you are considered a friend after only one meeting. A beautiful country with beautiful people and a fabulous hot and dry climate on the west coast that ANY basenji would just love.


  • Ms. Fran: I didn't mean to sound harsh or deride Costa Ricans…I was just giggling about the image of you having a friendly little block party with 30 million of your closest friends...


  • AJ - don't worry at all. I totally read that the right way/how you meant it. :) The friendliness of Costa Ricans is incredible. If I asked them if they knew a Costa Rican I know I would not be surprised if they did know them! They are such a social group of people - sitting on the curb near the church and just watching folks and waving to them. At the time I was working full time in a very stressful job, and I just envied their simplicity.

    This story has some elements of urban myth in it - see http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/stuffedtoys.asp As they point out its not only stuffed toys that are treated with anti fungals/bacterials - fillings of duvets/doonas/quilts/comforters/ pillows/cushions/pet beds are all potentially treated with the same chemicals. Also there is no details that if you wash toy/quilt whether the chemical is removed/reduced. I would also be very surprised if there were any standards imposed on what is deemed appropriate or safe for pet toys - there seems to be little or no regulation as to what can be fed/added to pet food around the world. That is not to say that there are very good manufacturers of pet food/toys who take the research upon themselves. However if I went along to my local craft store and bought a commercially available filling, how would I know whether it had been treated or not?

    Saw it in Chicago @ (what else) The Chicago Theatre a few years back. It was a great interactive show for all ages.

    I think in AKC they have to be 7 yrs old. In CKC they have a pee wee class where it's even younger, 4 yrs. And in UKC they can be 2! lol And I think in the youngest ones they can have an "assistant" handler. :) I know I've seen Laurie Soutar going around the ring with her granddaughter in UKC. She has Lakilanni Greyhounds and are regulars at the lure trials. PS, that's for juniors. I think for the breed ring there is no age stipulation as long as they are in control of the dog. Kathy?

    That guy is my hero! We met a man a few years ago with a 3-legged lab, he had dived in and fought a gator to save his dog. The dog lost a front leg (Gators have really nasty mouths) but was happy and healthy…and alive! Anne in Tampa
