Uh hey. It looks like I'm gonna be here for a while, so does anyone know where I can get my hands on a van? I'm gonna need somewhere to live once the weather gets better. I can't just crash on people's couches forever.

Sometimes they do! And sometimes when the manager you kicked out of your van needs to make a quick buck, he sells the tune he remembers to the burger guys and then years later he gets a court order that makes him actually pay you the money he owes you for it.

[That's confusing but she can focus on one thing.]

Someone had to make him give you your money? That's not very nice.

[cometkin]

Marty wasn't always a very nice guy.

[sleepallthewayhome]

Did he make music too?

[cometkin]

Nah, he just managed other people who made music. Mostly me.

[sleepallthewayhome]

That's a job?

[cometkin]

Yep.

[sleepallthewayhome]

But what did he do?

[cometkin]

Arranged where we went, when we were playing, who was paying us. Stuff like that. He did a lot of the fiddly stuff so I could have more time to write and play music.

[sleepallthewayhome]

Oh, okay. That sounds more like a real job.

[She, being nine, is totally an expert.]

Do you still write music?

[cometkin]

Oh yeah! All the time! I've even released a couple albums.

[sleepallthewayhome]

Are you going to keep making music here?

[cometkin]

Yeah! I mean, why wouldn't I? Making music is a part of who I am.
