Good Band

I had a nice moment tonight just wandering the streets. There was a good Thai band playing in a beer bar, it was about 3am and the bar was mostly empty, I was standing outside buying some barbecued squid when I heard the band playing. They played 2 Eric Clapton songs, Sunshine of my Love and Cocaine. The guitar player of the band was especially gifted, not that the drunk farang and sex workers in the bar noticed. I was standing outside and clapped and the guitar player raised his hand in acknowledgement of my appreciation. It must be very tough to play night in and night out and have no one really pay attention to your talent and passion.
