Everything about Alice's world interested Hatter, but most of all, the sheer variety of music completely boggled his mind.
He liked most of it, even the really odd things, like j-pop and polka, but Alice noticed he'd return again and again to one particular artist. With the famous group, or as a solo artist, Hatter had nothing but the utmost admiration for one particular guitarist.
"That's my mom's favorite band," Alice observed one day, as Hatter dropped the album into the CD player yet again, jumping to his favorite track.
"Really?" He paused a moment, then said, "Perhaps we should tell her the truth. About Wonderland."
"Huh? Why?" Alice was slightly thrown by the change in topic.
The frenetic guitar riffs dripped from the speakers as Hatter replied, "If she likes this band, then she'll understand Wonderland. I'm fairly certain they've been there."
Alice cocked her head and thought about the unusual riffs this guitarist always produced. "Maybe."
AN: so…. it could be any classic rock band, but in my head, Hatter likes Lindsey Buckingham, the lead guitarist for Fleetwood Mac. And Buckingham's solo stuff is particularly interesting.
