Washington Square Park 8/14/07

Well, I have been going to Washington Square, though not writing about it for a while.

I went there earlier this week and had a nice time playing with Pete and a guy named Andy who plays the mandolin. Andy knows many of the same Dylan songs as me.

I was also there on Sunday and there was an Italian TV crew trying to film us. But there was this slightly marginal guy who I guess had gotten pissed off about something, and he kept making a lot of noise and trying to disrupt the song and the shooting. Anyway, cameras love Pete who has no shortage of showmanship, and one of the members of the Italian film crew was trying to keep this guy away from us. So it was pretty cool because it was kind of like being a star and having guards to protect you.

On the other hand, cameras make me nervous, and I never know which way to look when one is on.

Later the producer from the Italian film crew came over with a harmonica and wanted to do a song with us.
