If a man is crossing the river and an empty boat collides with his skiff, even though he is a bad tempered man he will not become very angry.

He would often talk about the orchestras that played at concerts and the musicians who played on Sunday evenings on street corners. By the time I grew up in the '80s, all of this was a thing of the past. I lived vicariously through his stories and often wondered what it would have felt like to have been part of his generation.
