Today, while walking in the CBD of Pretoria, I saw this blind old man and a young boy playing a tune on the sidewalk. The old man plugs his guitar into an old radio, the little guy next to him uses two plastic containers as drums, a metal plate with metal bottle caps as cymbals and hits them with two homemade drumsticks, carved from wood. I was on my way to buy myself some lunch, but after recording them for a while, took the money out of my pocket and put it into a little bowl by their feet. Seeing them play touched me, not sure why.
My son is about as old as the little guy playing the "drums", he went to school today. Perhaps I just wish that I could do something like this with my son, perhaps I'm just glad that he gets to go to school...
