Lucky? No. That takes skills -- as a high-level musician I can tell you that the gift needs a lifetime of improvement and maintenance to keep at a high level -- and also moral courage and generosity Karl has an antecedent -- not as well-known, but a bass peer of Pavarotti -- who was known not to have trouble with anyone and could change a room instantly for the better because of the content of his character. Lucky? No. People will bless you for being a consistent blessing, sooner or later.
