I was recently in Montreal, and saw an amazing sight; a blind woman
sitting on the street next to her big black Labrador, busking with a
plastic Eb! The wailing sound (kind of Balkan folk-music like) was quite
haunting. I tipped her a bit and wanted to say hello, but she looked so
much in her own world I thought it best to just listen. Great moment.
