I headed to the studio to write this song for his trip.” I was filled with emotion of, thank you, Jesus! Then I got really sad when decided to leave home and was going to be traveling to NYC on a Greyhound bus. I wrote a song for Cappy when he graduated from high chool. He went on to say, “You may have noticed a tall curly hair guy out there helping with the wall? That is my son Cappy. Those who follow Franti, know he lives in San Francisco and is a Giants fan. “Some of these say, love on another, find a cure for cancer, peace, and one person wrote, ‘San Francisco Giants Rock!’ Everyone cheered. The wall of messages has become the backdrop for this tour and he read out loud some the messages written on the cloth squares. I got a guitar when I was in the hospital and I started writing and this is the song that came out.” He began playing “Here I Am.”įranti thanked the crowd for being part of the One Heart One Soul Tour and contributing words and messages to the wall.
If the sun was not shining I would be like, I need to reach for the Vitamin M.” The audience laughed and he continued, “It’s not what you are thinking, it is music.

It’s gonna be a great day. “This was a song I wrote when I was on tour and my appendix ruptured. Once they settled down Franti introduced his next song.

We caught up with him after the show and he raved, “This was really good. I think it is going to be really fun.”Īnother first timer was Kyle Miller, production assistant for Devil Dog Productions.
