I was in H. Fellow I know left an elaborate set of drums sitting there. I went over and sat down. The drums were against the wall - so I turned my back on everyone & began to play. I am absolutely ignorant of drum playing technique. I tried each drum and then I just hit them in a rhythm which was good. I leaned back, satisfied, and reaching for a cigarette - got the pipe which I saw "owner of the drums" smoking yesterday. I took a drag, not realizing; it tasted good. Friend of "owner of drums" - stranger - appeared. He liked the way I played the drums. We had conversation which seemed quite clever, but slips my mind. He could play the drums & showed me how. Interpretation Owner of the drums goes to C. - yet has wonderful musical & social talents. He seems quite unhappy. He therefore comes to H. to be appreciated. and I suppose a reason I like him is that I would like to identify myself with his musical ability.  I turned my back on the audience. People comment on my (real, not imagined) lack of musical ability. But one man heard me - and appreciated me - laughed with my that I was smoking the pipe - made clever conversation - is an optimistic sign. Answers to questions 1. Fellows - slightly older than I2.
