Hey, hiya, Pa. Hello, kids. Listen, Babs. If I fell ahead of tuning his brain, could you put it on paper? Don't tell me you're thinking you're writing a song. I already done it. I'm a level, Pa.
Yeah. Well, since when are you interested in music? Well, it started last night. Of course, for a long time I've been hearing noises in my head. But I thought it was just the effects of three years of riveting.
