(This is such a fun project you're doing.)

I liked this whole story cycle, as you know, but this chapter in particular. The weird beat on Take 5--that odd 5/4 time signature--just fits so well with the dreamy, ominous nature of the story.

This is an attempt at humor, but, as everyone knows, I'm humor-impaired, so it's not a very good story. It's sole virtue is that it at least references this wonderful song.

Finally, here's the song.

I love this story--made me cry.

And Orbison, just casually reaching those notes, easy-peasy, like filling that venue so completely isn't even a trick. What a talent.
First international artist I saw live. I was 9, it was 1980, and my dad took me.
Love this song. In fact, I have been practicing it so I can sing it at karaoke soon. I will have to look to see how you blend the song into a story.

Best wishes in your posts,
