I found the incredibly unique Wood and Swink Store and Post Office thanks to my first friend in Gainesville, Linda Pottberg. She brought her washboard down towards the end of my set and we jammed out a few tunes on the porch. After a tune or two, painter and stained glass artist Beverly Fitzgerald, who I met the day before at Shady Oak in Micanopy, walked over from her house next door. It was a pleasant surprise to find that she lived there, and had the day off. When we finished, she invited us over to her home to have a look at her work.

St. Ethelburga's "A Prayer for an End to Violence"
God of life,
Every act of violence in our world,
between myself and another,
destroys a part of your creation.
Stir in my heart
a renewed sense of reverence
for all life.
Give me the vision to recognise your spirit
in every human being,
however they behave towards me.
Make possible the impossible
by cultivating in me
the fertile seed of healing love.
Help me play my part in breaking
the cycle of violence
by realising that peace begins in me.

New Orleans City Park: Performance in a live oak, courtesy of arborist Rob Crawford of Gulf Coast Urban Forestry.
The Park is home to the largest collection of mature live oaks in the world, some several hundred years old. There are several traits that make the live oak unique among oaks. It is evergreen, or almost so, because the old leaves drop about the same time as the new leaves appear in the spring. Thus, the name "live" oak. It has a distinctive low spread and form, almost sculptural. It is common to see mature trees with lateral limbs that reach the ground. Many old trees have a branch spread which is twice the height of the tree.
