Hwy 52 sighting

I saw her again. The rock and roller who feels so passionate about music that she wants to share it with every commuter the passes under the walkway over Hwy 52 between Concord St. and Butler Ave. Not quite sure how she plugs in that Fender - she had a microphone this time but no amp. She's like clockwork. It was close to 5:00 the last time I saw her and again, as I passed under the bridge I glanced at my car clock, 4:45. Does she play the same song? Does she have a repertoire? It's too bad no one can hear her. The next time I see her, do I drive to where the walkway starts, get out of my car and listen? Maybe that is the point she is trying to make... are we hearing each other or is there just too much noise?

Rockin' and Rollin' above Hwy 52

I don't know who she was. I didn't hear the tune she played. Yet, the visual energy she sent out as I caught site of her at 60 mph - just as she left my vision- made a lasting impression.

She was a rockin' and a rollin', jammin' on her electric guitar, sandy brown hair blowin' in the wind, Fender Strat strung low across her blue jeans high above Hwy 52 during rush hour. I passed her twice...once heading south between Belvidere and Butler Ave. and then 1/2 hour later heading north. She was still there, blowing in the wind and rockin' to the tune in her head. She held no sign, she waved no American flag. Just her and her guitar.
