DAGMAR: FAN PAGE

A new song written by Alfred Nesser, one of the most delightful characters we've met in our open mike travels -- a metaphoric paean to Dagmar's "clothing", inspired, he says, by a dream he had.  He played it for us at the Main Street Market open mike in Concord, MA last night.  The chorus:  "You'll never know just what she'll wear, or what she'll choose to sing.  I just wear my common clothes, but she wears everything."  Thanks Al!  Pretty much says it all.

Drawn at Dagmar's first visit to the Catbird Cafe Open mic at the New England Wildlife Center in Weymouth, MA. Thanks, Dan!

Sept 13, 2009: Cambridge, MA -- "Poet, writer, intentional walker, peacemaker, activist, juggler . . ." and new Dagmar friend JEFFREY OSTROM wrote a Dagmar-inspired poem while watching Dagmar busk in "the pit" in Harvard Square on a sun-dappled Sunday afternoon. Thanks Jeffrey . . . it's a smooth, peaceful read.

Aug 30, 2009:  Cambridge, MA -- While busking in Harvard Square we had a long and lovely conversation with some new Persian friends, three graduate students at MIT, who recognized the Persian "proverb" that inspired the Dagmar song "Dark Enough" ("When it's dark enough, you can see the stars").  They were kind enough to write down (in Farsi) the excerpt from the HAFEZ poem the quote comes from, shown here.  Thank you, new Persian friends!  Let's hope it's getting dark enough where you come from that the stars will soon be peaking out.

WALTER SICKERT is a gifted and crazy SOB who has a heart as big as the pyramids and as full of gold as Cleopatra's tomb.  He's also a good friend and music colleague in Boston.  Check out his very special band THE ARMY OF BROKEN TOYS, on its very special website.  He drew this picture of Dagmar while watching us at some performance or other in Boston.  Thank you, Walter!

Meghan received this charming and graphically-pleasing bit of stream-of-consciousness from a new fan named Rich after a Squawk Coffeehouse performance. It's one of the many reasons we've grown so fond of Squawk. It's another universe altogether, a welcomed change from the day-to-day.  Thank you, Rich.

Cambridge, MA -- Good friend and gentle spirit MICK CUSIMANO of the SQUAWK COFFEE HOUSE made this flattering cartoon of Dagmar after one of our early SQUAWK appearances.  Thank you, Mick.  You NAILED it!  The likenesslessness is UNCANNY!
