Song and dance

Jackie Jones and her tap-dancing cat

Meet Jackie Jones and her tap-dancing cat. They entertain at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market on Thursday nights. I could have watched for hours as Jackie played old-timey songs and tapped on a foot pedal to make the wooden animal dance, a couple of two-year-olds nearby trying to mimic its moves. Later on she set down her washboard guitar and played the saw for a while, creating a wonderful, eerie ode to woodworking that resonated in the open halls of the Ferry Building.

I got organic produce, I got fancy cheese, and I got a shuffling cat wearing a tutu and pasties. What more could you ask for on a Thursday night?
