I saw them at a street fair…

Street fair band.

Your sound isn’t quite right.

Vocals too low.

Should I say something?

Nice tone on the guitar.

Cool vibes from the bassist —

she’s actually playing runs,

not just root notes and sustain.

But still, voices muffled.

Wait, they have a sound guy.

There we go.

Moving around.

Tweaking some settings.

(It’s all just on an iPad)

Aha, sudden, clean, opened.

She cuts through the rest

and now two distinct voices in harmony,

Finally, I can actually tell — yes —

you are a good band.
