Strangers

A stranger has made my day. Four really. To destress, I went to go play guitar at the observatory. Since the handle of my case is broken, I used a guitar strap and just carried the guitar alone. So on my way too and from playing, I played. While at the observatory, a couple younger than me visibly slowed down and stayed a little to listen to me play. Generally, I would either stop playing or else quiet myself. This time, I just kept going. I was really into and confident of my music. Which is extra surprising as I was improving blues at the time, not even a set piece. More people walked by and smiled, but that one really left an impression. They were genuinely pleased to hear me playing. I haven't had that in a long time.

Finally, on the way back home, I was fiddling around with the first song I ever wrote. Two bikers rode by and each had a big smile on their face and told me it sounded very nice. I was ecstatic! I miss guitar. Now is a good time to play more. Get back into it. I mean, I live for music, so it only makes sense. This was a good session. I can't wait to see what tomorrow's brings me.
