The man said,“I don’t sing.”
But the customer38 that he sing. He told the barkeeper,“I’m 39 listening to the piano. I want that guy to sing!”
The barkeeper 40 across the room,“Hey! If you want to get41 ,sing a song. The customers are42 you to sing!”
So he did. He sang a song. A piano player who had 43 sung in public did so for the 44 first time. And 45 had ever heard the song“Mona,Mona Lisa”sung the way it was sung that night 46 Nat King Cole!
He had talent he was sitting on!He 47 have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar, but 48 he had to sing, he went to become one of the best-known49 in America.
