Far from the hustle and bustle of the big city and during the days when she mainly bought starburst with her pocket money, Lisbee Stainton planted some tentative little seedlings - just for fun. She patted them down in the vegetable plot next to the radishes, dusted off her hands, and waited for them to grow into crafty little tunes. Soon she began taming their madcap tendrils, training her seedlings higher and higher into the sky until they wound themselves snugly against clouds and trees and things. Lisbee liked this, so she picked every flourishing crafty little tune for herself until pages and pages of songs were stuffed haphazardly into books under the wine-rack in the cellar. It's safe to say, they got quite dusty, but every so often Lisbee would unearth one and let her crafty little tunes perform to fascinated visitors.
