That old man in the movie theatre...

Show's over, lights were on...

He yelled at me from behind, "Where do you play? Are you in school or performing?"

Told him I'm a freelancer and I play everywhere.

He said, "I'm a keyboard player, that's why I asked,"

"You a union member?"

No.

"It's tough isn't it?"

Yes, but it's alright.

"The best part is there are only 4000 of us and 1000 jobs for all of us."

The challenege is the fun part though.

"Not until you're 60."

I saw his bags and untidy feature, realised he was a homeless.

"Enjoy your challenege all you want for now, but you'll see what would happen to you when you're my age."

Yeah, thank you very much.
