A CONVERSATION IN WALTER’S CAFÉ
KENT, OH, 1973

In the ‘70’s, North Water Street in Kent, OH was the place to be for fantastic original music, cheap drinks and easy hook-ups.  And the place to be within the place to be was Walter’s Café – a daytime bum bar that became the nighttime watering hole for artists, musicians, on-the-lam terrorists, dreamin’ low riders and all kinds of angel-headed hipsters (of course, I know where I stole that line from…so don’t bother telling me).  
Tonight tho (as in a 1973 “tonight”), eavesdrop on Chris and Alanna as they get to know each other…or too much about each other?

[FYI: I salvaged this from a stalled CD project of new songs &/or writings about all the women who have influenced me.  It’s my first attempt at writing a theatrical scene, and everything in the story really happened, tho not on the same evening.]
