a quiet moment of inspiration
just a boy and a princess
from Windfall, released August 2, 2004

the knickerbocker tennis club in Brooklyn is the oldest tennis club in New York City. My coach Winston Philip Ramsay is also the head pro there, and invited Cat & me to play on a windy Saturday in June. Just glorious.
