Meeting Dr. John



That's right.
Have you heard of this guy?
This Jazz King?
This Night Tripper?

Welll.. I have to tell you something;
I met him! Infact, I gave him a feather.
Here's the story.

Soo.. my brother Max & I were jamming out at a local music festival, "Roots & Blues"
We had gone with friends, but at the moment it was just him and I.
We were dancing and enjoying the great music.
Now I must tell you, Max was wearing this full headdress.
It had about hmm, 40? feathers in it!
And it was fastened to his head with a Che Guevera head band.
Plus, an added effect was Max's afro of red curly locks.

So, up comes this girl from behind us and she says, "Hey, those feathers are great!"
"I bet Dr.John would like them"
and stuff like that and we are nodding along and agreeing and then she says, "Would you like me to give one to him? Would that be okay if I did?"
And we were kind of confused until she showed us her ID and backstage pass and told us that she was Dr.John's personal assistant and she could get a feather to him for us.
So we thought that was pretty cool!
It turns out that just minutes before that we had noticed a feather in Dr.John's hat and had been musing 'oh wouldn't that be cool if that was our feather!!?'
And then, up comes Rebecca, his personal assitant, offering just that!

But it gets even better! Max said, "Well, do you think we could give it to him?" and she went back and forth on the idea, 'oh i don't know if that will work' and then finally 'oh well maybe' and she was texting people backstage the whole time. But then she told me that I couldn't come. And I told her that I was max's little sister. And then I bravely said, "So do you think that would be okay if I did come?" and she said, "Oh okay!"

So we headed BACKSTAGE!
And Max & I were just thinking oh this is soo cool.
And Rebecca was really nice, and then she asked us what our names were and we told her and she said oh how sweet, dr.john's son is named Max! So that was pretty cool too. We were now backstage and Max bent down let me take some feathers out of his 'hat' and then Rebecca also told us that we were the cutest brother and sister she had ever seen! hahaha. That was a good one.

So out comes Mr. Dr. John in his purple suit, which really looks quite bluey in person, and I gave him a feather, and told him it was from Aftrica and Max gave him a feather, and told it was from right around these parts, and Dr.John said Ooh Thank you very much and hopped into his car and zoomed away! And that was that...
