Whilst still commuting in London, often at off-peak hours, I'd find myself inexplicably moved by people carrying instruments on the train. They'd be going to or from an event that almost certainly had brought them, and possibly others, musical joy. Either that or it was the Lavender Hill Mob :-)

I'm amazed at how good you are in two years! I'm still just as bad at the guitar as I was 30 years ago.
