Alice Tan Ridley (Fellow Underground performer & advancing contestant on America’s Got Talent) sent word back to all of us in the Underground. Thought I’d share 🙂
“Hi My People,
Yes it’s time to make the donuts…
You all know that I will do my best, and I know you will too.

As many of you America’s Got Talent fans probably already know – our Underground friend fellow Diva, Alice tan Ridlely is in the final group going to LA to compete live on July 20th on America’s Got Talent
She sent back a message today to the ‘Underground Divas’ as Tim (our fearless leader) calls us.
ALICE TAN RIDLEY
My take on Alice having gotten to know her over the past few years – not only is she a phenomenal vocalist but a rare human being, diplomat, and has a way with words, insight and wisdom that is unmatched.
Alice Tan Ridley for President! 🙂
PS here’s a little extra from today’s NY Post about our Diva rising to the top

This has been the hottest summer here in NYC in 9 years. Amp that up by a 10 – 12 degrees and you get the feel of the underground in this heat. it’s beyond a sauna. When done each day I’m soaked from head to toe – hair drenched, shirt drenched poor guitar getting dripped on for hours. I loose so much fluid I now carry a little container of salt to replenish what I loose in the 3-4 hrs in the heat.

Hi all!
This has been one heck of a hot summer so far, right? One of the biggest challenges being just hangin’ onto my guitar pick while I’m soaking wet from the heat Underground 🙂
Yesterday as I came up from Herald Square I noticed theair above ground had finally cleared, all the way down to the 80’s – “ahhhhhh…” so the coolness is bound to trickle down to the trains sooner or later…we hope!
Along with the recent influx of comparatively refreshing air comes some strong rays of hope from the Underground. This past week, City Lore’s Executive Director Steve Zeitlin had a productive meeting with the new NYPD Transit Chief, Raymond Diaz and all NYPD transit borough commanders. At issue was latest Police harassment of street performers. I spoke with Steve today and I’m very encouraged at both the appointment of a new chief of Transit Police and his responsiveness to our ever escalating plight of harassment over the past few years. Steve and City Lore had requested a meeting for over three years and only with the appointment of a new chief did the meeting happen.
But happen it did.
Rays of hope with Diaz
Catch you in the cool breeze when the train doors open underground 🙂

I was gigging up in Harlem last week and this group of five or six little girls passed by, maybe nine or ten years old, and they became transfixed. Within a matter of seconds we had a mutual fan club thing goin’ on; I love the kids. They listened to the music, clapped, danced, stared at the money mixed in with the constant cache of assorted candies I keep in my guitar case, chit chatted, giggled and emptied their little pockets of pennies, nickles and dimes into my case.
Once done my gigging for the night and back above ground I noticed there was a new voice mail waiting for me. Thought you might want to hear…
Click below & Enjoy : )
And a day later…
This kid’s fabulous!
Rock on world!

Sometimes ya have to come up for air and when you do look what you find…
These wild roses live long the Hudson River. Here and there, the predominantly light pink have cross pollinated with the dark pink and this one particular light pink rose ended up with just one dark pink petal, in the shape of a heart! – Magic
