#fridayflash: musicians watching musicians in the rain


"They're good, aren't they?"
"Got the crowd really grooving."
"Why aren't we up there?"
"Different countries, different styles, wouldn't work -"
"No, I mean, why aren't we up in front grooving with the crowd?"
"Beats me."
Beat.
"It's wet, isn't it?"
"Positively soggy."
"Bit of a dampener on the whole spirit of the thing."
"But the crowd has been great."
"Yeah, even during our set."
"But not as responsive as this."
"I knew we should have started a conga line."
"Or kissed a girl."
"We're too straight."
"Straight."
Snort.
"What was that for?"
"Nothing."
"Why are you sitting so far away?"
"Our... our umbrellas need space."
"Oh."
Beat.
"I swear I'll never understand you."

  1. I can really imagine the 2 people standing among a crows outside somewhere, having this conversation, trying to make a music all of their own and somehow hitting the wrong note of things to say!
