KRIS KRISTOFFERSON
I'm headed to a Kris Kristofferson concert at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center (MACC) in a couple of hours. I haven't seen Kris live since a concert in a smokey club on Cannery Row some twenty years ago. Bobby McGee was the first song I learned to play on the guitar. Anybody else love his music?

Home from the concert. At 73 Kris is still an icon. Needed help from the audience recalling a few lines of the lyrics, which only added to the charm of the evening. Just him and his guitar and harmonica.
Sunday Morning Coming Down was a highlight of the evening for me. The images evoked in his poetry are powerful. There was a different line that I hadn't heard in any of the recorded versions. Something about the taste in his mouth after having licked an ashtray. Not a pretty picture, but easy to relate to.
Yes, I live in Hawaii—after a lifetime of teaching in CA. Aloha.
