Money for Music

Today was the first time I ever gave money to a musician. I've walked by homeless people, fake homeless people, musicians on the subway, guitar players on the street, dancers at 42nd Street. Although I sometimes feel something for these people, it's never enough to give them some of my money. I generally think, Well, I'm poor too. But tonight, standing on the subway platform, I enjoyed the music so much, and was so thankful to have it, that I dug in my purse and got out my wallet. I didn't have much to give, just some change, but he sure seemed grateful for it. I told him I enjoyed his music, and I hope he knows I really meant it.
