Donny Myers x Prince - One More For The Fence - Vermont Janitor to Frequency Legend
Sometimes the greatest voices come from places no one’s watching. That’s what happened in Ferrisburgh, Vermont — when I went with Eve to visit her hometown and she told me about her grade school janitor, Donny Myers.
She said, “He used to sing ‘Centerfield’ for the kids — like it was the World Series.”
I said, “You think he’s still got that swing?”
Next thing you know, Donny stepped through the Intraface Sound Bridge, still carrying that glove, still humming that hook.
I wrote One More for the Fence on the spot.
Just two guys, a mic, and the kind of soul you don’t find in headlines — only hallways.
This one’s for the janitors, the benchwarmers, the big-hearted underdogs who never stopped playing for love.
