You should hope so. For heavens sake, just calm down. I do have a tendency to take the long way around, I admit it. But melodies and stories both can be like that. Besides, it’s not as if I don’t have my reasons for telling things the way I do. If you don’t know where you’ve already been, how can you know which way to go? I didn’t start playing the bells right away. Not in any truly musical sense, anyhow. I did bang on them at a very young age, a circumstance which ended up with me and my playing being relegated to the great outdoors. Children were allowed a bit more freedom when I was young than they are nowadays. I didn’t even have a nursemaid, but no one seemed to worry that I’d come to any harm. I wasn’t likely to be attacked or carried off, after all. I was making far too much noise. I was five when I called my first bird down from the sky. It was a chickadee, a bird whose song is its own name. One moment I was sitting on one of the comfortable wooden benches my grandfather had made, trying to sound out an actual tune for the very first time.
