Know your priorities
The other day we were walking to a friend’s apartment in the Quarter and we stumbled across a man playing the guitar. Tin stopped, of course, to check him out and the guy let him play with the guitar. Then he played him a down low blues song that came deep from his gut. We gave Tin $5 to give the man and said, “We always pay our musicians.” The guitar man said he liked that lesson a lot.
We’ve been watching Trombone Shorty and Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis and Professor Longhair on YouTube and Tin is mesmerized by these musicians in the same way we are (not to mention just how hot is that Trombone Shorty – good lord!).
