I knew Arthur Honeyman, the man who was portrayed in the movie "Music Within."  He could often be found down at the Portland Saturday Market. Ohhh what a character he was! LoL

I met him the first time by being my usual graceful self (ha ha) when I backed into him and tripped over his wheel chair. I could not apologize to him enough.... it's actually a long story but I ended up having a cup of coffee with him that day and it was the beginning of a very unique friendship. He was one of the most intelligent and witty people I have ever known. 

I really enjoyed listening to the interview this morning with Richard Pimentel. What a powerful story that he and Arthur share together. I'm glad someone saw fit to tell it.
