i met Carlos Santana once -- we talked for probably 20-30 minutes, at night around a campfire at woodstock '94, and i didn't even recognize who he was until after he'd said goodbye, which was when we finally got around to giving each other our names. someone had spotted me playing a drum and invited me over to a larger gathering, where they didn't have any music, and after i'd played for a while, he came up to me to chat about music, about crowds, about connecting with people, responding and interacting with them, about heart and spirit, and how all these things interrelate, & how kindness and charity fit into them.
