Description: As I sat down to write today’s TradeshowGuy Monday Morning Coffee, I realized that much of the business we’ve done this year at TradeshowGuy Exhibits has been repeat business: new business from current clients. Of course, it’s good to have new customers, but in a sense it’s even better to have new business from clients you’ve been serving for awhile.

This is a clip of Heidi Tauber and the late Bob Chase during a recording session at KPAM for a teaser for the afternoon news they anchored. To put this in context, we had been doing endless stories about Krispy Kream coming to Portland. Heidi hated those stories. Bob Chase took the opportunity to pull a "gotcha".

On July 17, 2014, on Staten Island, Eric Garner died when he was placed in a choke hold by a New York police officer.

A year later, I happened to be in Houston, Texas and came upon a 'Black Lives Matter' march. A 12 year-old boy passed by. He was carrying a sign ... white letters on a large black piece of poster board. The wind was blowing. It was so strong, that the boy was having trouble holding the sign.

I offered to carry it for him.

On the sign were the following words:

"Every time you see me, you want to mess with me ... It stops today ... Everyone standing here will tell you I didn't do nothing ... I'm minding my business, officer, I'm minding my business. Please just leave me alone ... please please ... don't touch me ... I can't breathe ... I can't breathe ... I can't breathe ... I can't brathe ... I can't breathe ... I can't breathe ... I can't breathe ... I can't breathe,"

Those were Eric Garner's last words.

And that is what inspired this song …,

I Can't Breathe (for Eric Garner)
