Comments
Whoa, this is like the perfect answer song to the instrumental I just heard from @helenseviltwin . Digging this through and through. Was sad that it ended so soon though 😥.
Saving these prompts for the actual 5/9. I love that trumpet! I've said this before, but I need to steal your trumpet playing some time :).
