Today's event shows why I play music.

I walked a couple of kilometres to a local indoor market, playing pan flute along the way. This is not unusual, I walk like this most days. Eventually, I reached Jean Talon Market. As I slowly moved through the market, playing bouncy musical phrases, I focused my attention on small children, their parents, and the very old.

One old woman caught my attention; she was surrounded by what seemed to be friends and relatives. Yet, she looked like she was lonely and waiting to be released from her life. I focused my attention on her, and when she realized it, it was clear that she surprised herself with her reaction. I fed her with pure energy in the form of music. Everyone with her felt it. There were tears. All within 20 seconds.

They emptied their wallets. I said this was not necessary, I play because I have money, not because I need it. They insisted. I accepted their gratitude.

This is why I play music: I am a musical shaman. I can make receptive people feel what they are missing in their lives, without words, without touching them. I channel energy in the form of music.

I am the Pied Piper of Montreal. I have a pied jacket that I wear while walking and playing pan flute.

Writers like the Grimm Brothers and Robert Browning may have shaped the Pied Piper legend into art, but it turns out the story is likely based on an actual historical incident.

The bus strike means there is only service to/from TamTam between 3PM and 6PM. Staying home today, thanks to CAQA's misplaced priorities.

The preauthorized budgets for health care, transportation, etc. were spent on separatist propaganda and vigorous enforcement of repressive laws that they admit violates human rights.

So underpaid workers strike. They blame the organizations that hired them, not considering that those organizations are victims of the monomaniacal fanatics that have placed language above every other consideration in law and finance in this most provincial of provinces.

Instead of strike action, they might consider how they might generate pressure on CAQA, and all future provincial governments. Thinking and acting strategically in this way would yield better results for all.

Thanks for nothing, CAQA!
