Additional Comments
Growing up in a small community instilled a sense of responsibility to care for, and be helpful to your neighbors. I have taken
the community spirit so essential to the place I was raised with me to my current, more suburban context. I have had single
mothers on my street, struggling to keep up with yard work, and without seeking compensation, mowed and trimmed bushes
on the property partly because I enjoy the work, but also I saw the need and followed the instinct developed by the good
examples I grew up with.
As a peforming musician, I have donated countless hours peforming for local charities and school functions. Some of the
most rewarding performances I can remember were those given freely for seniors or in a hospital context where the level of
appreciation for the soothing influence of music is so much greater than some trendy club where the clientele talk through my
sets, more or less ignoring the effort.
I see the parks/street position as an almost ideal opportunity for me to combine my desire to serve a good community, and
enjoy the benefits (while not being ignorant of the hardships) associated with working outside. I have played the Deforest farmer's market for two years now-and have had a great experience both times. Being
compensated in fresh produce and flowers for my daughter is what I call a good deal.
