I lost. No great surprise maybe.
A man in the active US Armed Services (navy, I think) ordered my Ukulele Etudes. I saw that he had an overseas military address (I have a nephew in Afghanistan, so recognised the system). I thought it would be nice to give him the Etudes for free. I hardly get rich from ukulele music sales, and it seemed like a nice way to say thanks for his service.
So, I sent him the Etudes and refunded his Paypal.
He then wrote saying, "Thanks very much, but please keep my money, and I'm even going to buy the Ukulele Duets. And keep the money for those."
So, I sent him the Duets before the money cleared. Which is a terrible gesture, but it was the best I could do.
I was completely outdone in niceness by a guy in the US Armed Forces serving overseas.
Always good to remember that there are people in those uniforms. And it's always good to remember that some of them play the ukulele.
Just wanted to share a nice little story shared between England and Djibouti.
Peace everyone.
