Song of the Day: There Goes My Baby by Ben E. King and The Drifters

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m part of the back up harmony. We’re all in a line, one in front of another with our right arms facing an audience. We’re bent at the knee and are leaning back as far as we can go without falling on the person behind us. While two stepping, our left arms are slack and hanging slightly behind us and our right arms are swaying with our fingers snapping.

Song of the Day: Feeling Good by Nina Simone

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m set at the back of a stage with the rest of the band in the shadows. When the music sets in, I start pounding the piano keys as the rest of the band plays their instruments to the fullest. An overhead light turns on and shows our burnt orange suits with yellow pin stripes. Our hats match the color of our suits and cast a shadow over our eyes.

Blurb 1/365: I probably just need to chill out.
