Matt’s Creation Room was a wide, colorful space dedicated to music. The walls were splashed with bright orange paint, green sofas, and cushions, which contrasted with the serious, dark upright Yamaha piano in the center of the room. There were other instruments in the room: several guitars, a violin, several drums, a bass guitar. The walls were like a private Hall of Fame covered with posters and even relics of famous singers. One wall was covered with pictures of Matt and his three platinum albums Matt, Superstar, and Moving On. The room was bathed in light entering through the wide windows. It was Matt’s Creation Room and he had obviously decorated the room according to his own tastes. After finishing her scales while waiting for Matt, she posted herself next to the windows to practice her audition song for La Cenerentola that Saturday evening. It was a beautiful, sorrowful song that Cinderella sang in the first scene about a king who looked for true love not in splendor and beauty, but in innocence and goodness.

Moony and the jitterbugs swayed and staggered, trying to keep their balance while ducking to avoid an incoming snowman figure. "This ain't what we signed up for, Cuz," said the bug playing the upright bass. "That's right. Keep y'all's money. We quit." This bug threw down his pipe and jumped into the water. The rest of his band abandoned their instruments and made a break for it too. They swam for the nearest gravey boat.

COUNTRY BALLAD: “Time Don’t Wait on a Man” Verse 1: I may not be much, but I'm all that I’ve got, These boots and this jacket, and a few stubborn thoughts. Sometimes I sit quiet and drift back in my mind, To a boy with no worries, just a long stretch of time. Back when summer felt endless and my mama still smiled, And the world didn’t weigh heavy on the heart of a child. But the clock keeps on turning, no matter my hands— Time don’t wait on a man… no, time don’t wait on a man. Chorus: So I’ll hold what I love while I still can hold on, Make time for my family before the day’s gone. We don’t get forever—just the space of one dance— And time don’t wait on a man… no, time don’t wait on a man. Verse 2: I used to believe I had years left to spare, Now it feels like the sunrise gets lost in the glare. And I wonder how many days slipped right through my hands, Like dry summer creek beds, like dust over land. But love ain’t a promise—it’s a moment you give, It’s choosing to show up while you’re still here to live. I’ll sit at the table, I'll call when I can— 'Cause time don’t wait on a man… no, time don’t wait on a man. Chorus: So I’ll hold what I love while I still can hold on, Make time for my family before the day’s gone. We don’t get forever—just the space of one dance— And time don’t wait on a man… no, time don’t wait on a man. Bridge (spoken gently, under light guitar): It ain’t that life’s short… It’s just easy to lose… So don’t wait on someday— Someday don’t wait on you. Final Chorus (soft, reflective): So I’ll hold what I love while I still can hold on, Make time for my family before the day’s gone. 'Cause time is a gift, not a promise or plan— And time don’t wait on a man… No, time don’t wait… on a man.
