Soul Music -Terry Pratchett
OTHER children got given
xylophones. Susan just had to ask her grandfather
to take his vest off.
Yes. There's a Death in the family.
It's hard to grow up normally when Grandfather rides a white horse,
wields a scythe and talks like this - especiallly when you have to take over the family
business, and everyone mistakes you for the
Tooth Fairy.
And especially when you have to face the new and addictive music that
has entered the Discworld.
It's lawless. It changes people.
It's called Music with Rocks In.
It's got a beat and you can dance to it, but...
It's alive.
And it won't fade away.
