So, a... Peg? ...did you get lucky that night?

Is it a compliment when you sing a love song you just wrote, and all the jealousy-guys with their dates jabble you after the show?
Is it a compliment when everyone in the room seems to have a completely different revelation to a song you never quite knew the meaning of... (and You wrote it!)
I think the grandest compliment ever is that painful silence that lasts a little too long........ before the applause.
But my favorite one of all, is when the majority of the audience is sitting, smiling faintly, with closed eyes, and a room full of delicious enraptured wonder faces me with the stillness of a misty verdant impressionist landscape...

And to think I owe it all to a vivid dream world...ttr
