Tawona's poems were inspirational, heart warming, all performed from memory, straight from the heart. Hearing Tawona and Ernest play their instruments and sing was just gorgeous. I was transported. Your photographs have captured the essence of these two lovely guys.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121129967533068123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-66276370782467308562011-03-06T20:44:12.286+00:002011-03-06T20:44:12.286+00:00Guyana-Gal - I'm afraid I'm not a part of ...Guyana-Gal - I'm afraid I'm not a part of Seeds of Thought - they are based in the big city over 2 hours away, but I like their idea :)<br /><br />Adila - I just wish I had more time with them :)<br /><br />Allen - thank you :)Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-67651196856767745732011-03-05T16:22:58.367+00:002011-03-05T16:22:58.367+00:00Fun photographs.Fun photographs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-50234236539144782342011-03-04T22:17:52.542+00:002011-03-04T22:17:52.542+00:00Looking again at the pics.
