Watching clips of (the later) Eric Clapton on YouTube reveals a man who enjoys making music and esteems the people that he is playing with as well as his audience. The music, whether you like it or not, is only part of the show as the joy released by the players can't help but affect your feelings about the experience of watching the song. It is having fun and, in turn, making magic.
That is the point, of course, to have fun. Not everyone gets to do that in life. English furniture dealers, those that care about the business, get it when they find something that appeals to them, something that others might have overlooked or not understood. Moments like these help define just why you are in the business. It, too, is like magic.
The internet sensation that was Paul Potts singing Nessun Dorma for a talent show was less about whether Potts has the ability to sing--he surely does--and more about his revealing the passion that he has for singing. When people catch that, it is catching magic. I know how hard that is and how great it feels, but I probably love it more when I see it in others. We need magic in our world. |
