Note: any sequels that come after this are not challenge entries. I wanted to revamp the string of music-inspired ficlets I did way-back-when (http://ficlets.com/stories/38349), and this challenge was all the push I needed. Thanks for that!

Another note re: this string: this is mostly a string of song-inspired vignettes; the only similarity they may have is a handful of characters I like to use, and that they’re all inspired by some song or other (the song will more often than not be in the title, and the artist one of the tags).

Wonderful, as always :)

i’d stop and listen, really listen. street-side musician and coffee shot arts are the best really. great piece.
