I saw Robert Mirabal in concert in Washington, D.C. about 10 years.  I was inspired to see him after watching a PBS special where he and other Native American tribes were featured in a Las Vegas concert some years earlier.  I could feel the ever streaming infusion of inspiration as it flowed through him and that reminded me of the kind of artist I would want to become one day.  I even went to Santa Fe, New Mexico to to feel that energy in the air and meet the artists in the area.  The memory of those times helped me get through my cancer treatment when I was diagnosed soon after my trip.  And to this day, I remain in awe of his talent.
