I should have said "...Davoh, I take your point. I should have said "excellent, in my opinion". And I've had similar experiences to your encounter with perfection from that street musician. Most of the time. I tend not to agree with popular opinion about what is considered excellent in culture (or other fields) and fame doesn't figure much at all in what I'm drawn to - a lot of the currently most famous for whatever are of no interest to me.Natalie d'Arbeloffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757081405040926647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746593.post-14359865906649750162016-07-13T16:48:00.890+01:002016-07-13T16:48:00.890+01:00Natalie - the definition of 'excellence' ?...Natalie - the definition of 'excellence' ? dunno really.

Each note t my ear exact.<br /><br />Yep, i walked the back streets, found him. Sitting in a doorway. Without care. Had no interest in any 'dob in a dollar'. <br /><br />sat for a while, listened. He knew i was there, but the only recognition was a lazy lift from one eyelid.<br /><br />There is, of course, a difference between the words 'perfection' and 'excellence' .....<br /><br /><br />Davohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785126939071213905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746593.post-27932851005739239852016-07-13T12:22:12.111+01:002016-07-13T12:22:12.111+01:00Am beginning to comprehend what it might be like t...Am beginning to comprehend what it might be like to be a 'migrant' - albeit in my own country ... meh.Davohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785126939071213905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746593.post-57918374104968357712016-07-13T12:16:24.301+01:002016-07-13T12:16:24.301+01:00Hello Davoh, welcome back.
