Listen Up!

Three good points. A serious face.



Then the bass player ruined the whole speech—

in the best possible way.

Listen Up! is about arriving with something important to say and discovering that the music has a better idea.

A little crooked bass run interrupts the agenda. The coffee gets cold. The carefully prepared speech becomes a place to write chord changes. And somewhere along the way:

“My left boot voted. We were done.”

There’s humor here for anybody who has ever tried to stay serious while their foot betrayed them. There’s also a little affection for those unexpected moments when another person brings something wonderful into the room—and you stop talking long enough to notice.

“Three good points can wait till ten.

Turn that paper.

Play again.”

Bring your plans. Leave room for a better rhythm.
