Interesting story. I know this situation very well - you run through the streets to reach your destination and are so used to this daily hurry that you nearly dont notice anything around you anymore ... and then you meet a lonesome musician somewhere at the subway - station or just within the pedestrian zone and you are just stunned and flashed by the beauty of the moment. The last time i had this feeling was in munich, where a drunk dosser sat at his Steinway D concert grand piano (!!!!!!) near the karls-place. His playing was very impressive. Because he was drunk he missed several notes, but his playing and interpretation was still so masterly that i kept standing in the middle of the place for maybe two hours and while listening to the beethoven 5th piano concerto, gershwins rhapsody in blue, several rachmaninov etudes and preludes and some art tatum, dave brubeck and oscar peterson piano pieces my mind started to float. Everything began to feel in perfect order, my thoughts became extremely clear and i felt at one with the world ... dont know how to describe it but that moment was incredibly intensive...

I got to play a harp for the first time ever last weekend (at the House of Musical Traditions). It was AMAZING. :D

Music doesn't have to be complicated and multi-layered to be beautiful. Perfect harp example: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/487797
