Mechelle nods in approval. And tells of knowing someone famous who is quite unassuming.<br/><br/>  “So I was raised in the Tribeca are of Manhattan and my parents were old beatnik types who threw parties that attracted some of the coming set of artists and musicians. I didn’t like most of those people so I’d stay upstairs in my room or sit and watch them all get shitfaced and coked up. One party, a guy who wasn’t at all into the rowdiness looked up and raised an eyebrow my direction. I nodded to him, and he started up the stairs. He asked it it was okay and I said sure. We sat at the top of the stairs and he was the first adult who ever talked to me without being all talking down to the kid. That was Lou. We ent into my room and he saw my guitar and asked me to play. I wasn’t into it so gave him a half-hearted strum or two. And he showed me some stuff. ‘Here, try this’ sort of thing. He never talked down, just shared what he knew with someone who was interested. Like I say, he taught me guitar. Other parties, he’d bail on the party as soon as he could and we’d mess around on guitars. Later I started to go out on my own over to that place they had called The Factory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Factory) and my life sorta turned to shit but I also got to play with some of Lou’s friends. One of ’em gave me a used Strat and that’s how I started with the electric. I liked Jeff Beck and the guys who didn’t use picks like Kaukonen with the Airplane. But it all goes back to Lou and going out of his way at parties to hang out with a 10 year old girl. He was the big brother I never had, and refused to be my lover later and helped me out of some nasty shit later too.”<br/><br/>Retune the D-45 and start to strum.<br/><br/>  “Here’s a song you all know. Sing or hum along if you want.”</span></span><br/><br/><div align="center">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ0jL2nTwZE</div><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="text-decoration: overline;">            </span><br/>OOC: Blĭnde was the first character for whom I wrote a full backstory before starting threads at LiL with her busking in the hallways of the Casino to see who picked up on her.
