Perception
One of our musicians had been posting on Facebook for months about how her neighbor keeps banging on the wall when she practices her flute. (We’re talking about reasonable times like 11am.)
Last week she gave the neighbor one of her CDs, and not only has the wall-slamming stopped, but they’ve delivered her flowers.
I can’t help but be reminded of the story of Joshua Bell in the subway station. So much of our perception relies on context.
Also: world-class musicians look like normal people so be careful.
