boB - The Day the Muzak Died !

boB �" Happy Valentine’s Day to You

or

♫♪ the Day The Muzak Died ♫♪

 

 

February started off as a great month for our friend boB.  Spring was just around the corner, unless you, like boB, had decided to check up on the Lykov family lost in Siberia for some 40 years after WWII ended. 

 

♫♪ And while Lenin read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park ♫♪

 

There winter snows lasted till May and started again early September. Yep, only a boB would make that trip mid-February and it’s not all that clear just what he expected to find other than hungry wolves, sleeping bears and five million miles of nothingness…

 

A Valentine, maybe? I think he figured that he had a chance with the youngest daughter Agafinia but alas she was looking for something a bit more rugged.

 

So poor boB all that way to be turned down again. 

Would he ever find love…?

 

And to make matters worse,

 

♫♪ THAT was the day the Muzak d i e d  …

Bye…bye Miss American Pie . . .drove my… ♫♪

 

Nevermind . . . . 

 

Muzak, long synonymous with boring background elevator music shut down its brand in February and boB is in mourning…That was his favourite genre … <smirk>..

 

 ♫♪But something touched him deep inside

The day the music died ♫♪

I'm not actually sure what to think of these. Perhaps as I read more of them I will have a clearer idea of what you are trying to create with them. They seem more like ancedotal character sketches than an actual story. Whatever you want to define them as they are well written and show a unique style all your own which is important to any writer. Definitely experimental, but if you can find a to make them work, I'm all for experimentation.

Back in the day I worked for AOL on CompuServe in their Canada Forum. We had Chat rooms and libraries and I was a [SYSOP], a SYStems Operator....I managed users and what was done online and behind the scenes. Another [SYSOP} was Bob.... He was a civil servant in real life (oh the jokes that come immediately to mind) and he went on vacation. One of my roles was to entertain the masses. We had chat rooms with names like Sports and Leisure, the Hot Tub ... you get the picture. We treated them as if they were real rooms and I wrote stories about the antics of users and staff... That is where boB came from...short vignettes about a fantasy character from my weird mind ... Hope he ummm.... grows on you ...LOL
