An unexpected tip. The best I've ever received.
I was playing at Richard's Fine Coffees in Winter Haven, FL last night and received an unusual tip. I noticed a woman writing (I thought) in a notebook while I was playing. There are always students in the coffee houses scarfing up the Wi-Fi so I figured she was doing some school-related work. Before she left she deposited a piece of paper in my tip jar. I was playing a tune when she put it in there. I figured it might be a "cease and desist" order. I elected to finish the tune anyway.
 Best tip I've ever gotten. Bar none! Me and my Woolson LG.

That is way cool!
It brings back a memory of a sketch I received many years ago from a geometry student of mine that had me semi-morphed into Muhammed Ali with the caption "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, I am the master of Geometry".....

Frame that (put a note about the orin in with it)! What a wonderful conversation piece, and memory. Gotta respect talent like that, my doodles consist of nonsenseical scratch marks.

Priceless! Literally.
Any similarity between this remark and credit card commercials is strictly coincidental. Frank

Best "tips" I ever found in the jar:
1. After playing "Safe Home," found an unsigned handwritten note saying "Our son's in Iraq--thank you for playing that;" it bore a single wet spot that may have either been a teardrop or condensation from the iced mocha glass. 2. After playing "Ink & Pen" I found a brand-new Pilot Varsity disposable fountain pen! Nobody's sketched me, though more than a few have surreptitiously recorded me.
