Essays, Art and Plays by Dan

Dear Santa,

I hope this letter finds you jolly and the reindeer in top form. Next year I hope to share my love of music as a street performer and serenade passersby with my banjo. 

That’s why I am asking for these gifts to enhance my performances so please do not let me down!

Here’s my wishlist:

• A banjo strap that doubles as a slingshot. For self-defense against unruly squirrels—and to launch candy into the crowd!

• Shoes with built-in tambourines. So even walking is a performance.

• A hat that launches confetti whenever I hit a high note. Adds instant drama and flair.

• A rubber chicken that doubles as a backup singer. It may not harmonize, but it sure draws attention.
• A Bluetooth-enabled tip jar that plays applause every time someone donates. For morale—and motivation.

Thank you Santa!
