From Bobby McFerrin's interview, Catching Song, with Krista Tippett: "[W]e are embodied memories of our ancestors. I have my father in me — I have information in my head. I know my dad; I can tell you stories about my dad because he told me them or I watched them. And he in turn has a memory of his father, and so on and so on. So I began to think, well am I — you know, am I accessing a memory when I sing? . . . it's like an ancestral memory, like, we all have it, you know. So how far back does it go? I mean, maybe it goes all the way back, you know."
Photos today from 18.Mar.2011. The first from Center St. pres de chez nous, & around Dudley Square en marchant au acupuncture. Que je suis francais aujourd'hui!
