This was BEYOND magical!!

I’ve periodically posted pictures of Daniel, a young man who helped me rescue a bunny a year or so ago. I’ve run into him now and then since then, down by the AmTrak terminal in Fairhaven, and have always enjoyed those encounters.

The last time I posted a pic of Daniel in the Seeing Bellingham group, someone mentioned that Daniel is a great musician – she’d heard him busking somewhere.

So today I found myself walking around in that part of Fairhaven again, and I saw Daniel going into his bus. I called out to him and he turned around and waited for me. I told him I’d heard he was a great musician, and he smiled kind of shyly and nodded his head – said he’d done some busking, but wasn’t doing that so much anymore because people aren’t as likely to give him money as they were before – he thought it might be because of the price of fuel and stuff nowadays.

And this is when I got my genius idea. I said, “I’ll give you twenty bucks if you play me a song.” He grinned, and agreed to this arrangement, and went to fetch his guitar.

When Daniel had his guitar strapped around him, and he was ready to go, he asked me, “Do you want an original or…?”

“Yes, an original, please,” I said.

And then THIS happened! I was totally blown away by Daniel’s talent. This is one of the most beautiful ballads I have ever ever heard.

Afterwards, I asked Daniel if I could sing a song with him, and we sang George Harrison’s “Here Comes the Sun” together. That was so fun! We hugged and I said, “I got to sing with Daniel Alan!” He laughed, and nodded his head, and said he liked singing with other people.
