Washington Street Addendum

Another side of Washington street is seen here in these images of the weekly farmer's market. The Flaneur passes through with a coffee and a burning ember under the nearest great tree.

 This is Suzanne Holland, 

who sings folk songs from America and the Isles,

I listen to those styles a lot, on radio, on record, in person,

and I regard her as unusally gifted

 It was a sparse day with a brilliant and scalding sun, 

neither a lot of farmers nor gleaners had showed up,

I pulled a chair up close to listen

Lovely folksinging with deep soul running through it, 

if you see Suzanne playing, stop and listen,

 and, who's gonna throw that minstrel girl a coin?
