You know how geezers sometimes say they still have the first dollar they ever made? Not only does my husband not have that infamous first buck, he doesn't even have the ones he made last week! A couple of nights ago, he went to listen to an Irish traditional music "session" at Border's. This informal group of musicians meets every other Wednesday for a regular paid gig. Doug likes to go, and always takes his pennywhistles, just in case, even though he only knows maybe a dozen tunes out of a gazillion possible. He was happy when they asked him what he wanted to play, and was able to join them on a number of tunes. But the twinkle in his eye when he showed me his share of the night's kitty--$5--was astonishing. Sometimes, you have to take your thrills where you can get them. He took his straight into the living room, disassembled a framed print of Celtic musicians, and added his five dollar bill to the mat of the picture. "It's the first time I've been paid for an Irish music gig," he said. Dollars come and dollars go, but even for an "old" guy, firsts are always exciting.
