[A laugh bubble up over the music.]

It's okay, I'm not that great at putting lyrics together, I usually just do the music. It was Minnie who always wrote the actual words.

[Ah, and there's a good stab in the heart. Minnie's gone- gone before she died even, lost to him forever. She won't be writing lyrics ever again. The Delta tore all of that out of her and left her sharp and broken and wrong. He's quiet for a moment, fingers still playing a tune, mostly making it up as he goes.

Which is, naturally, of course, what he does when he sings. He's not actually all that bad a singer, certainly a little rough around the edges, but not half bad. He really did have a promising future in music before the world went down the toilet. Albeit... not for his lyric skills.]

This here's the epic Ode To Eddie
The hero we all need in our times of trouble
Whips together incense to keep the horrors back
The guy you want in your corner, Eddie Kaspbrak

[A pause.]

Shit. Actually, is that even how you pronounce your surname? I've genuinely only ever seen it written down.
