You are the bright young thing who works at a store on Grafton Street. I was shopping there on Wednesday with my best friend, the last day of a two week visit before I return to the drudge and homesickness of my life in the UK. The sun was shining and BF and I were having a wonderful, wistful day. I asked you what song you had playing on your computer, and your response was genuine, enthusiastic and delightful. No hipsterism, just a lady in love with her tunes. Then you made a little list on a till receipt of other bands I might like with the same simple joy of a music lover who wants to share.

I just wanted you to know I've been looking up your bands, and you were right---I do like them. But more than that, your little act of kindness is a reminder that I come from a city of wonderful people. Thank you, and keep rocking. —Thank You For The Music
