Listen for tunes with musical accompaniment on Washboard, Autoharp, Cuatro, spoon and bell. We’ll be gathering outside the public library under the tree shade and spin of Angela’s sunbrella. Wishes take wing when a young boy collects the wet coins from a New Orleans public fountain.Stories share ancient instructions on being resourceful in difficult times.
