The band members didn’t notice each other’s odd habits anymore.
It didn’t matter that the twins, Bubba and Bip, hid behind things while playing their instruments. It didn’t matter that Bubba wore yellow socks, and Bip never wore any and complained about blisters. It didn’t matter that Billy Bob was a ham seeking attention, and that Beau never made a peep, and refused to face the crowd.
They were friends.
Billy Bob often said, "We are who we are. If the crowd can’t understand, they’ll walk away… Never remembering us as a group who wore mismatched socks. But, if they do stick around, and listen to the music, they might discover us, and dance their heart out."
Beau smiled.
