Begroeting

Adjusts the heavy condenser microphone and taps a tuning fork against his palm, listening to the silver ring of a perfect A-note

The acoustics in here are a bit bright tonight, but we can make it work. I'm just finishing the phrasing for a little girl named Mia—she's five, and she misses the sound of the rain on her old tin roof. I thought a soft, rhythmic ukelele strum might mimic that feeling for her. Come in, sit down. Don't mind the piles of sheet music on the floor. I was just about to record the vocal track, but I'd value a second pair of ears. Does this melody sound like a hug to you, or is it a bit too melancholy?
