The spotlight turned to Mighty Joe, who somehow had grown a long gray beard, a bandanna, and an Epiphone Les Paul.
He looked around, confused, and played a single sour note that left eardrums bleeding throughout the universe.
Fish winced in pain and Deathy passed out, but the contest continued.
The spotlight then turned to Sophia with a floogalhorney.
She stood there silent.
“What!? I can’t play brass instruments!”
The spotlight again turned to Fish.
He played David’s secret chords, and his luminous glow became brighter than ever.
It went like this: the 4th, the 5th, the minor fall, the major lift, and the baffled King of Rock ‘n’ Roll composed Hallelujah.
Joe was stunned, but quickly recovered and pulled out a glass slider and made an even sicker sound than what had been heard before.
The non-existent crowd “Oooh,”-d out of nowhere and the spotlight widened. Fish and Joe stared at each other face to face.
