If a kid knocks on the door on Halloween and asks for money ask them for a song or poem in exchange. Good to know you only get money if you work for it and its fun and rewarding to hear them sing or say a poem.

Jess Hawk Oakenstar, great and talented singer, performer, song writer, cast member, friend, died yesterday in USA. Once I said to her, ‘Jess, I need a song starting with the line ‘Dear Gertrude Stein’ and she said, ‘Okay’ and the next day I had it.
