I'm pretty damn sick of this song, if I'm gonna be honest.

Ever hear of Sammy Davis Jr?

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Don't think I have.

[ Because he's like... 10 years old in Ben's time. ]

[punchedhitler]

Why say that? It's a pretty swell song.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Guess anything can sound bad once you hear it too many times.

[ Someone who actually knows this song?!]

[punchedhitler]

[Thinking about Star Spangled Man]

Yeah, that's true too. Sorry, hi, I'm Steve Rogers.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Ruth Etting's got this way of singing. Uses her nose, 'stead of her mouth.

[ His shoddy attempt at a joke... ]

Ben Hawkins.

[punchedhitler]

[A bit of a laugh]

But she's famous.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Famous don't mean a damn thing.

[punchedhitler]

It means people want to hear it, doesn't it?

[taravata.livejournal.com]

That says more 'bout the folks who are all up and goo-goo eyed.

[ -- ]

[punchedhitler]

It isn't that bad.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Guess that depends on what we're talking about.

[ And Ben is referring to something completely different. ]

Just a song.

[punchedhitler]

Isn't that what we're talking about?

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

Surprised you know it.

[punchedhitler]

Why? It was really popular when I was a kid.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

What time you from, Steve?

[punchedhitler]

1943.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Well, it ain't the 30s, but it's pretty close.

1934.

[punchedhitler]

That's kind of a relief.

dsafhsdlj ;-; I never got this notice! I'm orry.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

[ You can hear him grinning, oh so slightly, through his words. ]

Thought I'd be the only one here. You know. Old.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I think it's lovely.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

You're familiar?

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

No, I've never heard it before. Well, that's not entirely true, it sounds a little like what's played at the Blue Light sometimes.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Blue Light?

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

It's a club here, they play a lot of jazz.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Kinda like the Cotton Club? Must be pretty swank.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I don't know any Cotton Club.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

But you know jazz.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Yes, like I said, they play it at the Blue Light.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing they don't got any of that stuff in your world.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Not as such, there's music and some of it is similar to jazz.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

So many damn worlds.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Hard to keep them separate, is it?

[taravata.livejournal.com]

If they're even separate. Could be that we're all connected like one giant spiderweb. Maybe we ain't.

Don't make sense either way.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Do you think about it often?

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Nah.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Probably a good thing.
