In June of last year I was teaching at the Inland Seas Symposium in Bayfield, Wisconsin and might I say it is a fine event; an event that I would have never have thought of finding my soul mate. But, as we all know, when you least expect it, expect it!<\/font><\/p>\n After a long day of instructing I decided to settle back with my guitar to play a few Julio Iglesias tunes in preparations for the evening\u2019s events. As I began to play \u201cTo all the girls I\u2019ve loved before\u201d, I heard an angelic voice coming from the far end of the demo beach. Almost hypnotically, I began to walk that way in hopes to meet the siren that would have such a mellifluous voice. What I found was surprising; it was Danny Mongo from Werner Paddles walking towards me!<\/font><\/p>\n We met, a mere few feet away, and began to harmonize through the second chorus. It was grand!<\/font><\/p>\n But as all good things do, this came to a screeching halt. Some punk kids (as seen in the picture) walked up to us and began to ask Danny for spare change. Imagine the nerve! Two grown men are singing in harmony on a playground in the middle of nowhere, minding their own business, trying to let a bit of love grown in a harsh world, and these two rakes have to come and ruin a beautiful moment!<\/font><\/p>\n So, to those who feel like their agenda is more important than everyone elses, remember this; thoughtlessness hurts and in some cases brings love to an end!<\/font><\/p>\n On a side note, these near-do-wells also stole Danny car and ran his underwear up a nearby flag pole. Openly I laughed\u2026on the inside, I was crying!<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In June of last year I was teaching at the Inland Seas Symposium in Bayfield, Wisconsin and might I say it is a fine event; an event that I would have never have thought of finding my soul mate.
