There is a young boy playing an instrument. They call him Shorty because his is short. He is healthy because his is fat. Shorty is about 7 or 9 years old. He is from Plaquemine. His eyes are closed because his is blowing so hard. He is thinking about trying to play. His playing a tuba. I know his isn't singing my song. His playing music. He got his dad's instrument and is trying to play it. Shorty is working hard to do it. He is playing "Allons de Lafayette." He is trying to get enough air out of his stomach to blow because his trying to play loud. Shorty is standing in a studio next to a brick building. It is not dark outside, the wind is blowing and the sun is shining outside. He is playing in the studio alone. He didn't sneak in, he is supposed to be there. He was practicing and eating peanut butter before he started playing in the studio. There is music on the floor, a bunch of little sheets of music. Shorty blew his instrument and air blew stuff on the floor. He was blowing hard and it looks like he is trying to dance. I bet he is a good little dancer and singer, "but I can tell you one thing, he is having fun." He is dirty because he ran out into the mud and because he is a boy. His eyes are closed because mom is coming to pick him up. When he is done playing, he is going to sit down and rest. But for now, "all I can say, is he is having a good time."
