Euro crisis, bad bank, Financial District protesters in the Wall Street neighborhood New York Manhattan Battery Park
– my daughter came to visit me and we talked about the global problems, and at the very end we performed that song by Aloe Blacc: “I Need A Dollar”

lyrics fragment by Aloe Blacc:
I had a job but the boss man let me go
He said: “I’m sorry but I won’t be needing your help no more”
I said: “Please mister boss man I need this job more than you know”
But he gave me my last paycheck and he sent me on out the door
tea time jam with my daughter:
