55 - Bagpiper


He plays outside the Palacio hotel, the only Mexican bagpiper for miles around. He spurns all offers of a steady gig. He has everything he needs, especially when a tired young mother stops to listen, tears in her eyes, then hands her boy a dollar. "Give this to the nice man."

Tonight he is rich.

A Mexican bagpiper is bound to be rare, especially a good one. No one wants to her the practice sessions.
