I performed for years on Boston's streets.
In 1983 part of my band backed a woman singer,
just bass, drums, bkp vocals and my beautifully
electronic sounding electric mandolin,
Some big dramatic moves I did occasionally.
We played in front of Filene's, Downtown Crossing, Boston.
Months later I got a job across the street at Strawberries Records
and Tapes.
The assistant manager stood by the door looking out with me.
He said, "I used to see you out there. One time Dave Stewert
of the Eurythmics was watching and I approached him and said
I saw a recent Eurythmics'NYC show".
Dave said to Micheal,"That bloke's good", pointing to me.
Six or so months later I was watching the Grammies and The Eurythmicks
lip-synched Sweet Dreams Are Made of This.
Dave was playing a string-less little cubist sculpture about the size
of my electric mandolin. He moved around.
I marveled at his apparent imitation of me.
