Magic Minute Sensitive to Other’s Feelings

By Laurie Smale

MAGIC MINUTE // Ever been looking forward to a conversation when another person wedges their way in, takes over, and wrecks the whole atmosphere?

When I was young, I went to see Ike Cole, Nat King Cole’s brother, perform in a suburban pub on the outskirts of Melbourne.

And yes, I’m talking about ‘the’ Nat King Cole!

How I longed to share with Ike how much his brother’s inspirational words and music had been of great solace to me as a lost and lonely person.

Nat’s voice always seemed to get through to me and gave me hope.

After Ike’s show some random guy gate-crashed our conversation and started raving on about how bad apartheid was, ruining the magic of the whole thing.

Yet like his brother, Ike Cole had an innate sensitivity to another’s feelings.

Before he left, he sought me out and said, “I can see that Nat meant a lot to you. So for him, hold on to your dreams.”

Nat Cole may have left us too early, but his thoughtful brother’s kind words left a real imprint on me.

I’m Laurie Smale… Till my next Magic Minute.🪄
