At Canley Vale Station

I love it when I'm pleasantly surprised. Yesterday evening, as the train I was on stopped at Canley Vale. I saw a young bloke (teenager) sitting on a bench playing a guitar. It was my stop. I wasn't expecting too much in terms of this guy's guitar playing. But it turned out he was some sort of virtuoso. He was one of the best guitarists I've heard in a long time. He was playing funky, jazzy, bluesy riffs. He was incredible. And he wasn't busking. He was playing his guitar to an empty (aside from me and him) train station platform as he waited for the next train. I wished I could have stopped and talked to him. But, unfortunately, I couldn't.
