Sea Hear Now Day One

As I write this I am frustrated, as it is not going as planned. I can't upload pictures to my computer to include each day of Sea Hear Now. I wanted to feature each Artist with a quote and song that I heard at Sea Hear Now. So, I will try my best with what I have and share the pictures and songs in my stories on instagram and facebook. I was fortunate to get to the rail in the early evening. And, since I work on my feet all day, the last thing I wanted to do this weekend was stand a lot. So, there was two hours in between sets I was able to sit. I did already share my three favorite moments from day one. And, they were watching the sign language during Boy George's performance. Watching Danny Clinch jam with Dave Clark Jr. And, Stevie Nicks twirling at the end of her song Gypsy. Watching an Artist perform is like walking into an Art Gallery. They have the audience to express their feelings and voice with. When it is done freely, it is amazing how they can capture you and get your full attention. The best part is they can feel your appreciation, through you and the crowds reaction. It is an amazing experience. And, it makes you feel alive. Or, I could compare it to the feeling when you walk into a huge cathedral. I was there for a total of nine hours on day one. It was an amazing experience soaking up not just the sounds and art. But, to see my favorite building Convention Hall be the backdrop for it all, just felt so right. I spent my morning at writing class and a conversation came up about attending concerts. And, one person said he would like to write about conversations overheard at a concert. And, I thought to myself that would be great. As I walked through the casino building on the way there I overheard a girl say: "I hope they never take this building down". Spending so much time in Asbury Park with my store, I couldn't agree more. To think of the history of that town while I grew up, and what it is now is a miracle. A miracle I still love to participate in. Day one was SO much fun. Day two was multi-layered and I will have to do a post on each of one my three favorite experiences. Quote of the day: Everything on this record is what I really wanted to say, and I'm back to being the poet I always thought I was. Stevie Nicks Song of the Day: It's a Miracle Boy George Song written by Boy George on his LP Colour By Numbers It was written during his first visit to the United States.
