I stepped into the living room, wondering why the overhead light was on...only to discover a secret jazz club - run entirely by gnomes!
Gnorman was supervising, his best friend glimble on the saxophone, other friend glindy on the drums, and tiny gnome twins groove and melody on double bass and piano.
their music was sultry, cool - actual jazz music! they froze, instruments mid-note, catching my gaze...
my jaw dropped, eyes wide - i felt like i'd stumbled into a fairy tale jazz club! gnorman slowly lowered his saxophone, nodded at me, and said (in a surprisingly smooth voice) 'welcome to gnome street jazz, madam. we've been rehearsing for...well, centuries.'
the other gnomes chuckled, groove and melody twins giggling behind their hands. i stood there, still stunned, and asked the obvious question: 'DO YOU PERFORM REGULARLY...OR WAS TONIGHT SPECIAL?'
GNORMAN BOWED SLIGHTLY AND SAID, 'WE'D BE DELIGHTED FOR YOU TO JOIN OUR SECRET JAZZ NIGHTS, MADAM! EVERY FULL MOON, UNDER THE OUTSIDE GARDEN LIGHTS.'
