| Yes, there would be a need for someone to teach instruments (privately or in school), but it's not like Hill took their money and didn't give them the instruments or the band uniforms. He made a sale, but presumably one where the people receiving these things can't use them to any real purpose. He sold them something they didn't need, but he did give them something. Of course, to Marian's way of thinking, he did give them all something they needed -- pride, anticipation, community spirit, a barbershop quartet (!), etc. and that's all part of this wonderful work, too. |
