Steven, have to say I really enjoyed your story - and your writing! Fantastic thing to happen - but I noted that you worked your butt off for 6 hours and didn't go home for a cup of coffee.... so you really earned it. So, now, as you were busking to earn the money for a Taxi membership, would you say this success was due to Taxi? Georgie

Hi StevenI can only imagine how good that moment on stage must have felt. It doesn't sound like it could happen to a nicer guy. I'm rootin' for you, man!Mewman

Wow....every time someone comes on and whines about how they can't get a break, they should read your story. Thanks for making my day! Best of luck to you in the future.BTW, I have always wanted to see the movie "Once." I am going to Blockbuster today to find a copy.
