I like to tell Dexter that he is the best guest I've ever had in my house, and I've had a lot of guests. His appreciation of my hors d'ouvres the night he came to perform as an alumni of the Musicambia program at Sing Sing Correctional Facility was seriously unparalleled. He is one of the most joyous enthusiastic people I have ever had the pleasure to know. It was probably not easy for Dexter to walk into some stranger's house in Park Slope. It was definitely not easy to talk to a group of people about spending time in prison. But the truth is, in our many conversations since that first time we met, we have found we have so much common--including people--that the differences that might have kept us from connecting don't seem the slightest bit important. We live on opposite sides of Prospect Park, but we met and walked together, talking along the beautiful paths about the importance of trust, caring and self-expression (namely through making music) to build better communities everywhere.
