Shut Up and Sing

Hey All,
I have a funny story. So, I have to say that this last tour, lasting 5 weeks, was beyond blissful. Mira and I had such a wonderful time connecting with so many blessed beings. So, there was one morning where I was feeling the strain of travel and found myself more in my head than heart. I was sitting at a coffee shop with Mira and I was talking, or rather complaining, about something - shall we say having a moment! So, I looked up and the man at the next table was holding up a newspaper and in big bold letters, it said "SHUT UP AND SING". I laughed at the reminder as it felt like it came directly from my Guru. Well, I told the story several time on the road to audiences and no one had any response as to where these words could have come from - so the mystery remained. Then, the last day on the road, my friend and drummer Morgan doctor was telling me about this great movie she had seen about the Dixie Chics controversy surrounding a comment one of the members had made about George Bush and the name of the movie - SHUT UP AND SING! And then upon my return home, my friend Jenni Young had sent me the image above. What a hoot. Messages come in the strangest ways. What is mundane for one can have deep significance for another. Meanwhile, the sign took me back to deep gratitude and on purpose and never did I find myself in the space I was in that morning for the duration of the tour. Jai Gurudev! Dd-
