But I'm also gonna hopefully

play some open mics

and see what I can get done.

I'd like to hear your stuff.

Oh, yeah?

I'll give you my number, man.

You can come down

to one of these open mics.

Sure!

Hello there!

Howdy.

What can I get you?

I'll take a bud light, please.

Bud light, that's a good one.

Thank you.

See that piano, Bobby?

Sure do.

What's goin' on

with all the bobbies?

I just met a guy named Bobby.

Bobby. Bobby's idle hour.

It's like Bobby day.

Bobby day.

Hey, sweetie, can I

get you somethin' to drink?

I'm all right right now.

I'm about to go on.

Good luck. Let me know

if you need anything.

Thank you.

Whoo!

Yeah!

You sounded good.

That was a hell of a song.

That your song?

Yes, sir. Thank you.

You looked a little nervous.

Yeah. I played like sh*t.

I don't know what I'm thinkin'.

You sounded good, man.

You got a good voice.

You'd be surprised how many

people in this town make money

can't sing half that good.

You did good.

My name's Wheeler.

Wheeler Bryson.

Travis meadows.

Good to see you, man.

I was comin' here and I was

expecting to find a keyboard,

'cause we went to one bar

and they had a piano...

Man, it's a guitar town.

Ain't many pianos around.

So if you wanna play keys,

you gotta bring your own.

Yeah, pretty much.

Or at least be prepared.

Where can I find a good...

Like, a used keyboard?

Uh...

Somethin' that won't...

Probably...

Corner music's a good place.

Howdy.

How you doin'?

Hey, man.

How you guys doin' today?

Oh, hey, man. How are you?

It's goin'. All right.

Look at that hair.

Rock'n'roll.

Nice guitar, man.

$3,200, that's pricey.

Yeah, they're proud of 'em.

Yep.

You lookin' for a guitar today?

Actually,

I'm lookin' for a keyboard.

You got any good used keys

around?

We do, we do. Absolutely.

Different part of the store.

Yeah?

Yeah. What's your name?

I'm Wheeler, man.

Wheeler. Toddzilla.

Nice to see you, man.

Nice to meet ya.

It's a big shop.

Well, yeah,

it's been here a long time.

So what kind of keyboard

you lookin' for?

I mean, somethin' used, uh...

You know, weighted keys,

just a great piano sound.

Okay.

I don't really need any

of the fancy synthesizer stuff.

Okay. All right.

I think I might have

somethin' over here.

Uh... a guy traded

this in last week.

Oh, it's a Yamaha, huh?

Yamaha, p-155.

Weighted keys.

Mostly piano sounds.

It's in great shape to be used.

It doesn't have a scratch on it.

Really has a great sound.

That'll work for you.

What's this one run?

Oh, there you go.

Well, we got it for 699.

Normally, these things are

about 1,200 bucks new, so...

Yeah.

You think if I pay cash...

Talk to somebody
