Ritz

Perhaps two years I was listening to National Public Radio
when I heard Michael Franti and Spearhead for the first time.
The song was Hello Bonjour, and it held me in the driveway
long after I had shut off my truck's engine.
The words touched my heart
and I came into the house with my face still wet with tears.
Soon after, a friend had seen the band in Clearwater (at Ruth Eckerd Hall),
and she posted some Spearhead videos on facebook.
I recognised the sound and was thrilled.
I promised myself a Spearhead show.
