So this morning on my way to work I walked into North Station and found myself singing "Lift Ev'ry Voice", and realized I was singing because I was hearing it, played on a sweet saxophone above me. I followed the music to find a very nice gentleman busking, and walked up singing and gave him all the change in my change purse. He grinned at me and stopped playing to say, "You know it!"

I said, "I started singing and realized it was because I heard you!"

He said, "I touched you!" and I said "Yes you did!" and we gave each other a high five. And he said, "Thank you for your generosity, sister," and I smiled at him and went back down to my train.

That was a really lovely start to my day. *beams*

*hugs you very much* I love you too! And your splendiferous daughter; I love finding things to send my friends, and I'm so glad you're enjoying the books!

And I couldn't resist on the cut tag. *beams*

Oh, that guy! I sometimes give him money, just because he's so nice.

Aww, musical encounters! Now I'm whistling that song, which is oops because I can only remember the first dozen bars of the melody or so. Such a lovely beginning, though! To the song and to your day, too.

As a former street busker, yes, touching someone is hugely important.

I'm glad this made your day. Buskers in Boston and elsewhere have frequently made mine.

Sometimes I really love this city. And I always love that you're in it!
