Little Hawk and Rick Fielding stood together in the spotlight at the Corner Coffee House in Newmarket. Rick was playing and singing like a dynamo. A virtual whirlwind of music and song.

Little Hawk stood opposite the microphone from Rick. With his eyes closed and an almost beatific look on his face, he swayed in rhythm to the music and waited for the right moment. When the moment arrived, Rick stepped back from the microphone, and Little Hawk stepped in.

Little Hawk's harmonica sang plaintively and soulfully. Rick played furiously. A look of pleasant surprise lit up Rick's face as he recognized a fellow musician up on the stage with him. The two musicians played their hearts out while the rest of us basked in the wonder and amazement of the moment. We were riveted.

After the performance, Rick told Little Hawk he always loves meeting musicians who know how to really listen.
