This quilt was in the visitors center

On our way to NOLA our flight was delayed 5 hours in Newark. After about 3 hours and a gate change you get to know who is on your flight. Ginger and I kept noticing a well dressed, nice looking man here and there, obviously on our flight. He sat right across from us for a long time, then like everyone else got up and milled around. I kept thinking "he looked so familiar..... "

It was midnight when we boarded our flight. He was seated in first class as we passed through the plane to our seats. I didn't think much about him after that.

On the way home, at 5:30am out of NOLA he was there again in the waiting area. We were on the same flight back to Newark. Ginger kept telling me to just go up to him and ask who he was. "Say, I know you are somebody, who are you?" But I was very tired and it was early and I didn't want to be rude. So I said nothing as we sat looking at each other for an hour across the seats.
Well, hind sight is 20/20 (still not sure what that means- but I know I feel like a hind).

Alan if I had it to do it all over again..... "I love your music, I think you are an amazing composer-musician, Thank you for all of your wonderful music, I listen to it all of the time. My girlfriend says your music changed her life. May I have my picture taken with you, and would you mind an autograph? Here you can put it right here on my new cowrie bracelet that I bought at the Marie Laveau's house of Voo-Doo? Thank you and bless your heart.
