"You just did it," Michael pointed out. "You just performed for all of us, and it was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.""That was different," David protested. "That was just playing around. A real concert has structure, planning, rehearsed pieces. I can't just make it up as I go along."William walked over to David. "But what if you could, David? Your gift isn't just that you can play written music perfectly; your gift is that you can create music that touches people's souls. What if we built a concert around that?"Lisa was looking at her phone again. "William, I'm looking at the guest list for tomorrow night. We have some of the most important people in the music world coming. If this goes wrong—""If this goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility," William said firmly. "But Lisa, if this goes right, if we can show people what David can do, it could change everything for him."David sat back down, looking overwhelmed. "I don't have concert clothes. I don't have anywhere to get cleaned up properly. I look like a homeless person because I am a homeless person."Jennifer smiled. "David, my husband is about your size. I bet we can find you something to wear.""And I know a barber who owes me a favor," Carlos added. "He could make you look like a professional musician again."Tom, the security guard, surprised everyone by speaking up. "Sir, if I may say something: I've worked here for ten years, and I've seen a lot of concerts. But what happened here today? I've never seen the musicians look so happy while they were playing. That young man has something special."Roberto nodded in agreement. "And Mr. William, sometimes the best things happen when we take chances. If we always play it safe, we never discover anything new."William looked at David. "What do you think? Are you willing to try?"David was quiet for a long moment. "What exactly would I have to do?""I'm not sure yet," William admitted. "We'd have to figure it out together. Maybe we could do a mix of traditional pieces and improvisation. Maybe you could play some solo pieces and then play with the orchestra like you did today."Lisa was still looking worried. "William, what about the donors? Some of these people donated thousands of dollars to the concert hall. They're expecting a certain type of performance."
