Double-knotted

First, you write it. Then (and during, I'm sure), you learn how to play it really, really well. After that, you give it a name.

Then you dress it up (Star Wars gear, maybe). Then you put some walking shoes on it (Vans, Authentics- double-knotted). Then you pack it a sack lunch (peanut butter and jelly, Doritos, an apple and a Capri Sun). Finally, you walk it to the bus stop, say your goodbyes and release it into the world.

Takes balls. I know my buds do it because for them it is really fun and really rewarding. It's those things for me too, getting to experience their work. But just because they enjoy the shit out of it doesn't mean it is any less brassy.

So, yeah. To my live-ass music-playing friends: Respect and Admiration. You know...for your balls.
