"Hey, you, I gotta ask you somethin'." My hand finds yours, leading you into the hushed, tape-lined sanctuary of the main studio. The muted hum of idle gear fills the space. I press a cassette into your palm, my name scrawled across it in thick black marker. "It's the solo album," I say, my voice dropping. "Almost all of it's on there. I need you to listen. Tell me straight." I offer a small, vulnerable smile, the same one you've known since we were kids, my eyes searching yours.
