Description        



        Maurice sat down on the bench, eyeing the black and white keys.

"This is just like the piano i had back home." He said, playing the highest and lowest note.

Then, he began playing the intro, it's sweet high notes soaring through the air, then he started playing a quick blues shuffle and began to sing. His sweet voice was surprisingly powerful.


'My name is Maurice centric' i'm from, Louisiana

Gonna play a little boogie on this here piana'

Doin' mighty fine, gonna make you shake

Gonna make ya do it, make ya do it, till it breaks.


It's called the Maurice boogie, the eccentric way

Oh well i do my little boogie woogie, every day!


Maurice begins to play a solo, the way he played the piano was incredible. He made the whole atmosphere loosen. All the worries of Decembersville life seemed to simply melt away. He began to play the next verse. Hell, even Scarfy was getting into it that shy little thing.


"HEEEY!!! Down in New Orleans, The land of dreams,

The best doggone place son you ever have seen.

yeah you catch the wind of a boogie that's hot,

and my boogie makes ya want to stop and doooo the bop.


It's called the Maurice boogie, the LOOSE way.

Gonna do my little boogie woogie, Every day!.


aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhahaaaaooooooooooooooooh WOO!


Well now let's cruise on down, to old Memphis town,

that's where that pesky boy says you ain't been nothin' but a hound.

You take my boogie and it keeps you in the groove,

and now the whole damn town begins to shift around and move


It's called the Maurice boogie, the Centric' way.

Well, let's do my little boogie woogie, every day!


Oooh, do the boogie woogie!


yeah, your hips start rockin', your knees start rockin'

It's a loose boogie, in a loose way

Now let me do my little boogie woogie every daYYYYYYYYYYYYY!


Maurice strikes the final chord, and holds the note.


"Wow." Twill finally says.

"That was awesome!"


Maurice stands up. Then Bows, smiling from ear to ear.

"Thank you miss."


The truth is, Maurice not only loved playing the piano, but he loved playing the piano for other people. When their moods relaxed and everything became fun with no one having a single care in the world. It gave him great joy. The power to make people happy, that is what he had. The power to please and amuse a mob. However, he could not survive very long in Decembersville without money. something of which he never had in his life.
