Attention Spans

Yesterday, a couple of my friends came over to film a birthday video for their good friend. They know I play piano and we're quite interested in the songs I could play from my piano sheet music. However, it seemed like they only wanted to listen for short segments at a time and then go onto the next song. Furthermore, they started loudly talking and didn't even seem to be paying attention to the song they had requested me to play. Maybe that's because our generation is accustomed to having so much beauty around us (i.e. music on the radio) that we are accustomed to putting it on the back burner and tuning (👀see what I did there) in to other things.
