Chapter 35
"'Boo, what's that?" Vince asks, pointing.
"It's a record player."
"What's that noise it's making?"
"It's not noise, it's music." The shaman chuckles.
"Music." Vince repeats, trying out the new word. Naboo smiles at him.
"It's by a man called David Bowie."
"David Bowie?"
"Yes. This album's called Hunky Dory." Vince wrinkles his nose.
"It sounds funny."
"Good funny or bad funny?"
"Good funny."
"Have you heard music before?" Vince shakes his head. Naboo is outraged. How could anyone deny a child music? He takes a deep breath and calms himself. "What do you think of it?" He asks cheerily.
"It's good. It's like magic!"
"Do you like this song?" Vince wrinkles his nose again. Naboo can't help thinking hoe unbelievably cute he looks when he does that.
"It's good. The words are funny. Good funny. It sounds..." He struggles to find the right words. "…just right."
"I'm sure Mr Bowie would be very glad to know you approve." The shaman says, holding back a laugh. "I've got some more of his records that you can listen to if you want."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
Vince runs towards the little shaman and hugs him suddenly, almost knocking him over. "Thank you, 'Boo."
