Lyrics:
Sometimes she speaks without making a sound.
Sometimes she screams so loud it shakes the clouds.
Oh, but she’s right here now.
Sometimes I feel like a ghost in this town.
Sometimes I feel like an angel flying around.
Oh, but I’m right here now.
Sometimes he floats away from the light.
Sometimes he shines like a star in the night.
Oh, but he’s right here now.

ShrimpFest 2009 with the Ginger Ninja’s
What a beautiful night among friends at the South Yuba River on last Saturday, 7.11.09. On a granite slab jutting out over the water, Michael and I mused for the river folks through the Ginger Ninja’s pedal-powered sound system. The acts that followed us included Ruby Turple with Cedar • Bear Dyken with Summer Moon • The Ginger Ninjas • Obo Martin • SHAKE YOUR PEACE! and Fossil Fool. Definitely a night to remember. Thanks, Kipchoge, for inviting us to shrimp with you at the river!
