People don't readily know how hard it is to be a "background musician", the "ambience guitar" , the "invisible" player who sets a mood. You pour your heart out, few people pay attention, no one applauds. It messes with the ego. His delight sure wasn't about the tip, it was about being heard and acknowledged. Nice story, Justin. I like these short pieces so much. Sharron at LEAVES

This made me excited to get back into creating again. When I come back out of the zone after a creative session, I always feel the same way as Milton--this is right where I need to be.

As someone who used to perform, this inspired me to someday get back out there.

To be acknowledged and appreciated is why we perform music. Or write. Or do anything creative. It makes it the effort worthwhile.

Nicely done, Justin.
