Miscellany

The musical bat.

Don’t lose hope.

A score of 1-8.

Beware the comet-flute.

The modern ballad of the humpback whale.

Greater than the New World.

The song of annoyance.

Bob Dylan, Peeping Tom.

The mass production of cheap accordions.

Stuck with the Greeks.

The rawness of her voice.

Is that a flute in your pocket?

Six sharp notes.

Choking on the fruit.

Something really useful and solid.

The 600-year-old butt song from hell.

The tender brains of children.

Lifetime performance rights.

Busy, hip, and cluttered.
